India is the latest country to cast doubt on the U.S. dollar as the major global currency.
Suresh Tendulkar, a top government economist, has advised India to rely less on the
dollar. He suggests buying a number of different currencies instead of just the greenback.
He told reporters: “The major part of Indian reserves is in dollars. That is something that’s
a problem for us.” India’s treasury holds over $260 billion in foreign currency reserves. A
weaker dollar means those reserves could fall in value. This is especially possible with the
pressure on the dollar from America’s weakening economy. This may not exactly be the
final nail in the coffin for the dollar, but it seems to be losing ground on other currencies.
The dollar is not only under attack from India’s economists. China and Russia are also
calling for a new international foreign-exchange reserves system. On July the 3rd, China’s
former Vice Premier Zeng Peiyan called for a “system to maintain the stability of the major
reserve currencies.” This suggests China no longer views the American dollar as the
world’s sole reserve currency, and that the dollar is no longer the “system” at the heart of
global financial markets. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has repeatedly called for a
system that has a mix of currencies. Japan appears to be the only economic power that is
keeping faith with the dollar. This may change at a meeting of the G-8 in Italy on July 8-10.
TRANSALTION
India es el último país en poner en poner en duda el dólar estadounidense como la
principal moneda mundial, claro tendulkar, un importante economista del gobierno ha
aconsejado la india que dependa menos del dólar. El sugiere comprar varias monedas
diferentes en lugar del solo el dólar. Dijo a los periodistas “La mayor parte de las reservas
indias está en dólares. Eso es algo que es un problema para nosotros”.
El tesoro tiene más de $260 mil millones en reservas de divisas. Un dólar más débil
significa que esas reservas podrían caer en valor esto especialmente posible con la
presión sobre el dólar el debilitamiento de la economía de estados unidos. Puede que
esto no sea exactamente el ultimo clavo en el ataúd del dólar, pero parece estar perdieron
terreno frente a otras monedas.
El dólar no solo está siendo atacado por los economistas indios, china y rusia también
están pidiendo un nuevo sistema internacional de reservas de divisas. El 3 de julio, el ex
viceprimer ministro de china Zeng Pelyan pidió un sistema para mantener la estabilidad de
las principales monedas de reserva. Esto sugiere que china ya no considera al dólar
estadounidense como la única moneda de reserva del mundo, y que el dólar ya no es el
sistema en el corazón de los mercados financieros globales. El presidente ruso dimitry
Medvedev ha pedido repetidamente un sistema que tenga una combinación de monedas
Japón también parece ser la única potencia económica que mantiene fe en el dólar. Esto
puede cambiar en una reunión del G-8 en Italia del 8 al 10 de julio.
