Why the strength of the US dollar has a big impact on you
What in the World
You might not live in the US but the value of America’s currency most likely affects how much you pay for stuff, wherever you are.
In this episode we explain why the strength of the US dollar matters so much.
The BBC’s Erin Delmore describes the picture stateside. Cuba Houghton, a graduate in Economics based in Nairobi helps us dig into the meaning of some economic terms that you need to be familiar with - and the BBC’s Jewel Kiriungi looks at how Africa feels the impact when the dollar gets more valuable.
