Cambodia has one of the world's most dollarized economies, but how did it happen? From the Khmer Rouge's abolition of money and the arrival of US dollars during Cambodia's reconstruction to decades of economic growth, this documentary explores the history behind Cambodia's unusual monetary system.
Discover how dollarization shaped Cambodia's economy, banking system, inflation, foreign investment, and monetary policy—and why the country is now working to strengthen the riel through digital payments and financial reforms.
