Petrodollars

Petrodollars
Petrodollars refer to the U.S. dollars paid to oil-producing countries and subsequently deposited in Western banks. The term gained prominence during the 1970s oil crisis when Middle Eastern oil producers accumulated substantial surpluses. These surplus funds were often lent to oil-importing countries, shaping global economic dynamics.
