Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of China's central bank, has suggested creating a “super- sovereign reserve currency” to replace the dollar over the long run. He would sharply enhance the global role of special drawing rights, the international asset created by the International Monetary Fund in the late 1960s and just given an enormous boost by the decision of the Group of 20 to expand its issuance by $250bn (€189bn, £171bn). These are the first big proposals for international monetary reform from China or indeed any emerging market economy and deserve to be taken seriously for that reason alone.
中國(guó)央行行長(zhǎng)周小川提議創(chuàng)造一種“超主權(quán)儲(chǔ)備貨幣”,以在長(zhǎng)期內(nèi)逐漸取代美元。他主張大大提升特別提款權(quán)(SDR)的全球作用,SDR是國(guó)際貨幣基金組織(IMF)于上世紀(jì)60年代末創(chuàng)造的一種國(guó)際資產(chǎn),20國(guó)集團(tuán)(G20)增發(fā)2500億美元SDR的決定大大提振了這項(xiàng)資產(chǎn)。這是中國(guó)乃至任何新興市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)體提出的首批關(guān)于國(guó)際貨幣體系改革的重要提議,單是這一理由就使其值得認(rèn)真對(duì)待。
