| | CBC News Indepth: The Canadian Dollar |
| | While the Canadian dollar is constantly being measured against its U.S. counterpart because Canada and the U.S. are neighbours and the world's largest trading partnership, the loonie is just one of the national currencies that are valued in U.S. dollars, the closest thing to world money. | | | In early 2002, the Canadian dollar was trading at record lows, but given Canada's better economic performance in terms of cutting government debt and deficits, and the growth and inflation figures, it should have been no surprise when the loonie took off, he said. | | | As the dollar jumped, companies that buy in U.S. dollars but sell in loonies, like petroleum refiners (which buy oil in U.S. dollars but sell gasoline in loonies) or telecommunication providers (which buy telecom equipment in U.S.-dollar markets, but bill Canadian subscribers in Canadian dollars) should be ahead. |

| | The overvalued dollar has resulted in “the loss of about 740,000 manufacturing jobs (about 4% of the total manufacturing jobs), a decrease of nearly $100 billion in annual profits and a $40 billion (about 25 % of US manufacturing investment) fall of investment in the domestic manufacturing sector. | | | A decline in the dollar’s value gives way to an increase in manufacturing jobs, rise in American exports and creation of an accounts balance for the US economy. | | | On the upside, a weaker dollar will actually give a boost to the American economy and benefit industries such as US manufacturing. |

| | Museletter # 149 / August 2004: The Endangered US Dollar |
| | For decades the US dollar has served as the world's default currency. | | | If a run on the US dollar were to occur, then the only financial solution would be to create even more dollars (presumably through government borrowing), which of course wouldn't actually solve the problem and would in the long run make matters worse. | | | The checks we are not talking about are not just hoarded paper dollars (though there are billions of these stuffed in mattresses around the world) but dollar-denominated investments and securities, including T-bills, stocks, and mortgages. |

| | Revisited - The Real Reasons for the Upcoming War in Iraq: A Macroeconomic and Geostrategic Analysis of the Unspoken Truth, by William Clark, updated: Jan 2004 |
| | The dollar, now a fiat currency, is at a 16-year trade-weighted high despite record US current-account deficits and the status of the US as the leading debtor nation. | | | Indeed, the flawed economic and tax policies and of the Bush administration resulting in years of projected deficits may be exacerbating the weakness of the dollar, if not outright hastening some countries to diversify their central bank reserve funds with euros as an alternative to the dollar. | | | When oil is denominated in dollars through US state action and the dollar is a fiat currency, the US essentially owns the world's oil for free. |

| | About the US Dollar at internetional.se |
| | An immediate resumption of the gradual decline of the dollar, as in the period 2002-03, cumulating in a fall of at least another 20%, is needed to reduce the deficits to sustainable levels. | | | China and other Asian countries have - because of massive dollar purchases to prevent their currencies appreciating - emerged as the financiers of the US's current account and fiscal deficits, providing cheap capital that has kept the dollar's decline orderly and helped bring economic growth and low interest rates. | | | In my opinion, over the long term the dollar has nowhere to go but down, although over the short term the dollar could give us a head fake and strengthen. |

| | Dollar hegemony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Dollar hegemony as the term is used by Liu specifically describes a geopolitical phenomenon of the 1990s in which the US dollar, a fiat currency, assumes the status of primary reserve currency in the international finance architecture. | | | Thus Dollar Hegemony prevents the exporting nations from spending domestically the dollars they earn from the US trade deficit and forces them to finance the US capital account surplus, thus shipping real wealth to the US in exchange for the privilege of financing US debt to further develop the US economy. | | | The dollar maintained its status due to: agreements with Saudi Arabia and OPEC to trade oil only in dollars, the largest stock market NYSE and many other commodities were being traded in dollars, and large credits for developing countries were also dollar denominated. |

| | The recent adjustment efforts, however, have involved the dollar or the yuan, not the yen. | | | The yen has strengthened against the dollar by 5% YTD, but in real trade-weighted terms it is around 120 (C73=100), having fallen 3% because of the parallel fluctuations in the European and Asian currencies, and is still far from its 1995 high of over 160. | | | A weakening dollar is essentially the Trojan Horse of global rebalancing; it has the potential to spark real interest rate adjustments and trigger a narrowing of global consumptions and saving disparities. |

| | [A-List] US imperialism: dollar hegemony |
| | Dollar hegemony allowed the United States to levy a tax on the rest of the world for using the dollar, a fiat currency, as the reserve currency for world trade. | | | Dollar hegemony forces the central banks of US trading partners to hold their dollar trade surplus in US bonds and assets, if they want protection from speculative attacks on their currencies. | | | This has been sustained by dollar hegemony in which the role of the dollar as the reserve currency for trade keeps the trade surplus in dollars earned by countries exporting to the US as captured investment or loans in the dollar economy. |
