Many countries have established separate tax administration departments with specific systems to monitor the compliance of large taxpayers.

This study examines the challenges and issues facing policymakers in highly dollarized economies. Focusing on Cambodia, which achieved almost complete dollarization during 1991-95, the authors review recent developments in the literature on dollarization and examine the costs and benefits of dollarization in Cambodia, including the ensuing macroeconomic policy implications. They carry out an econometric estimation of cash foreign currency circulation in Cambodia in order to gauge the degree of dollarization. In addition to this analysis, the authors present a short description of Cambodia's economic, financial, and structural background.

The 18 members of the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation Council (APEC) encompass both a wide geographic area and extensive differences in stages of economic development. At the same time the APEC region has experienced a dynamic process of economic development over the past decade, driven to a considerable degree by trade liberalization and economic reforms. The wide ranging levels of economic development and rapid rates of growth make the region an attractive sample on which to base a study of medium to long-term movements in real exchange rates and the impact of exchange rate changes on trade and investment.
