North Korea Dollar Dilemma

FILE - People walk past a shelf displaying both local and imported snacks from China at the Potonggang department store in Pyongyang, North Korea, on June 19, 2017. North Korea has tolerated the widespread use of more stable foreign currencies like U.S. dollars and Chinese yuan since a bungled revaluation of the won in 2009 triggered runaway inflation and public unrest. The so-called “dollarization” helped ease inflation and stabilize exchange rates, enabling leader Kim Jong Un to establish a stable hold on power after he inherited that role in late 2011.
