Many countries, including Haiti, choose to peg their currency to the US dollar to maintain stability and boost.
Pegging a country's currency to the US dollar can have both benefits and challenges.
On one hand, it can provide a sense of stability and predictability for businesses and investors, as they can rely on fixed exchange rates.
This can help foster economic growth and attract foreign investment.
However, pegging a currency to another stronger currency like the US dollar can also have drawbacks.
It can limit a country's ability to conduct an independent monetary policy, as the central bank would need to adjust its interest rates and currency reserves to maintain the peg.
This can sometimes lead to challenges in managing inflation, economic growth, and external shocks.
Ultimately, whether pegging to the US dollar works depends on various factors, including the country's economic stability, monetary policy
