Why is the greenback the world’s main worldwide foreign money? To what extent are the Euro and Renminbi potential challengers to the greenback? Have the sanctions positioned on Russia by the US and its allies bolstered or threatened the greenback’s dominance in international finance? What are the best threats to greenback hegemony within the years forward? Ought to the Federal Reserve take worldwide developments under consideration when formulating financial coverage? Drawing on his a long time of expertise as a senior official on the US Treasury, G7, G20, and Worldwide Financial Fund, Mark Sobel will focus on these essential points about international finance and the worldwide financial system.
