We Should Have A Better System

clipped from www.telegraph.co.uk

The discussion, which took place between the leaders of five emerging economies
and the G8 industrialised nations, including Barack Obama, caused concern
among western leaders.


"We should have a better system for reserve currency issuance and regulation,
so that we can maintain relative stability of major reserve currencies
exchange rates and promote a diversified and rational international reserve
currency system,” said Mr Dai, according to the Chinese foreign
ministry.

While he did not single out the dollar, Mr Dai was clearly calling for the
world to diversify its reserve currency system and stabilise exchange rates
among leading currencies.


China has made a series of attacks on the dollar in recent months, and went as
far as to question Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, about the
trustworthiness of the currency on her visit to China earlier this year.

We will. It's called gold.
