BRIC summit may focus on reducing dollar dependenceBy Wang Xu (China Daily)
Updated: 2009-06-16 07:41 The leaders of Brazil, Russia, India and China are gathering in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg Tuesday, during which they are expected to discuss ways to reduce their reliance on the US dollar.
"This is an opportunity for the BRIC nations to discuss the roadmap for a super sovereign reserve currency," said Li Wei, a professor of economics with Cheung Kong Global School of Business. Days before the opening of the summit, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev proposed that countries use a mix of regional reserve currencies to reduce reliance on the dollar. The subject may be on the agenda when he meets his counterparts in Yekaterinburg, the Kremlin said this month. Russia's central bank later said it planned to reduce the proportion of foreign exchange reserves it has invested in US Treasury bonds and shift some into bonds issued by the International Monetary Fund, and deposits at commercial banks. The moves echoed China and Brazil's decision to invest $40 billion and $10 billion respectively in International Monetary Fund bonds, a move to diversify their dollar-heavy currency reserves. IMF bonds are denominated in Special Drawing Rights, or SDRs, an artificial currency used by the IMF. China now holds about $2 trillion in foreign exchange reserves, of which more than 70 percent are likely held in US dollar assets. BRIC nations hold a total of $2.8 trillion in international reserve assets excluding gold, 42 percent of the world's total, according to Bloomberg. These are the latest indications that reserve rich nations, like other investors, are increasingly worried about the safety of the exchange reserves held in US dollar denominated assets. The US Federal Reserve's decision to buy Treasury bonds and corporate bills, which is, in effect, printing money, is expected to cause a depreciation of the dollar and a loss for investors such as China and Russia. "The risk of capital losses has become urgent because of the dramatic deterioration of the US fiscal balance and the recovery of risk appetite by investors," Yu Yongding, an economist with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in an earlier interview with China Daily. "The current crisis shows that one of the fundamental causes of the crisis is the contradiction between the US dollar as a national currency and the hegemonic international reserve currency. A roadmap for the reform of the international monetary and financial system should be put forward," Yu said. While the BRIC leaders may discuss how to reduce dollar assets in their existing reserves, they may also seek to limit the use of the greenback in their bilateral trades. Analysts said the leaders may seek to reach agreements that would encourage the use of their local currency in trade. "The discussion, no matter whether they can turn into reality, will once again send an alarm of distrust to the US government with regard to their monetary policy," Wang Tao, an economist with UBS Securities said. China signed a deal with Brazil last month, which would allow some bilateral trade transactions to be conducted in Brazilian reals and the Chinese yuan. Over the past months, China has signed currency swap deals worth 650 billion yuan with six nations, in a major push to increase the use of the yuan. |
