A decade ago I wrote a series of papers on financial development and integration in Asia focusing on the role of openness in fostering financial deepening and economic growth. In subsequent years there has much water (some would say liquidity) under the bridge, not just an additional decade of financial experience but also the global financial crisis. This commission from the Asian Monetary Policy Forum thus offers a welcome opportunity to revisit these issues.","PeriodicalId":402318,"journal":{"name":"The Asian Monetary Policy Forum","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121527374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dominance of the US dollar as an invoicing, issuance, anchor and reserve currency has increased over time, especially so and somewhat paradoxically since the end of the Bretton Woods system. The dollar is now the ‘hegemon’ currency. I propose an explanation based on the growing complementarities between the role of the dollar for international trade and for international financial transactions. I also discuss the implications for policymakers of living in a ‘dollar world.’ The paper concludes with a discussion of some possible challenges to the dollar’s hegemony. ∗Prepared for the 6th Asian Monetary Policy Forum to be held on May 31, 2019 in Singapore.","PeriodicalId":402318,"journal":{"name":"The Asian Monetary Policy Forum","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127073923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
