Abstract
As a result of a request issued at the Houston Economic Summit in July 1990, an IMF-led team completed a study of the Soviet economy earlier this year. The study concluded that “rapid progress towards a unified exchange rate and current account convertibility of the ruble would also be necessary to reestablish confidence in the currency and reverse a growing trend towards ‘dollarization of the economy.”
