African De-Dollarization Efforts Clash with Public Preference for USD

BTCCSquare news:
Governments across Africa are intensifying efforts to reduce reliance on the US dollar, with Nigeria mandating oil transactions in naira and Tanzania enforcing shilling-only local payments. Kenya tightens forex controls while Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso explore a joint currency—yet these initiatives face stiff public resistance.
The dollar's entrenched dominance persists despite local currencies outperforming it this year. Citizens continue opting for USD in daily transactions, drawn to its stability and universal acceptance. This disconnect between policy and practice highlights the challenges of monetary sovereignty in emerging economies.
