De-Dollarization in Africa Is Failing as Public Wants the US Dollar
Many governments in Africa are actively pushing for de-dollarization, making local currencies the norm and limiting the use of the US dollar. Just recently, Nigeria announced that oil settlements must be done in local currency, the naira, and not the US dollar. Tanzania had banned the USD in local transactions, forcing the public to use only the shilling. Kenya is also implementing stricter foreign exchange rules to limit the use of the greenback in local exchanges.

This isn’t just sentiment, it’s based on decades of relative stability and global acceptance. Even when African currencies are performing well, the dollar remains the preferred unit of account for international trade and value storage,” said VALR co-founder Badi Sudhakaran.
