ABFER Welcome Dinner
Keynote Speech by Professor Darrell Duffie
Fragmentation Risks to the
Dollar-Dominated International Financial Order
Sustaining the benefits of the US dollar's unmatched position among global currencies has captured the attention of US policymakers. Geopolitical competitors and new payment system providers threaten fragmentation of the international financial system. The market for US Treasury securities, bulwark of the dollar as a reserve currency, has outgrown its ability to effectively intermediate crisis demands for liquidity. Heavy international reliance on dollar-based lending has also engendered crisis rollover risks to financial stability. How have policymakers been responding to these challenges and what more might they do?
