 Dollarizing is when a country no longer issues its own currency and instead uses the dollar as its primary money.

 Thank you - so relinquishing control of money supply in a sense.

You're spot on about the media coverage - this is the first time I heard about Yemen space combat or Suez Canal closure 😞

 How do they get the dollars needed, to run the countrys economy? Is everything getting more expensive in the first place, because of the scarcity of dollars?
