2.2. READING PRACTICE: Read the article
THE U.S.A. DOLLAR
Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has suggested that the U.S. dollar
could be losing its status as the world's most important currency. Mr. Lavrov
said that because the U.S. has imposed economic sanctions on countries like
Iran, Turkey and Russia, these countries could start conducting international
business in their own national currencies instead of the dollar. In addition,
countries that have had trade tariffs
He U.S. could also do trade in their own currencies. This could include the
global economic superpower China ditching the dollar. China is already
setting up trade deals in its own currency. Experts say the U.S. dollar could
lose its position as the international reserve currency.
The U.S. dollar replaced the British pound as the international reserve
currency in the 1920s. Since then, most international trade has taken place
using the dollar. Today, when China buys oil from Iran, it pays in U.S. dollars.
This means more U.S. dollars flow out of the U.S. than flow in. The effect of
this is the U.S. has a currency deficit as its dollars are in the bank accounts of
other countries. Mr Lavrov said: "I'm confident that the grave abuse of the role
of the U.S. dollar as a global reserve currency will result over time in the
weakening and demise of its role." China's currency the Yuan is emerging as
an alternative trading currency. Africa's most populous nation Nigeria has
already started trading using the Yuan.
