Dollar dominance difficult to displace
OMFIF Commentary by Kathleen Tyson in London, Sep 14, 2020
“Speculation about the dollar's decline is premature. The global financial plumbing will not change quickly or inexpensively. It took a century of New York banks' financial activism and extensive global interbank innovation and collaboration to make the dollar a hegemonic currency. It will only lose its dominant status if Chinese policies make use of the renminbi more practical for foreign banks and investors, while American policies make continued use of the dollar impractical.”

The ABCF mission is to build a deeper understanding between the Chinese people and Barbadians and Caribbean people from all walks of life. The association’s focus is on personal experiences, people-to-people contact, cultural exchanges and exchanges of ideas, and the facilitation of travel, business and study. From the outset we aim to learn from and build on the experiences of the Caribbean and China, and to develop mutual understandings and support that will be to the benefit of both sides.
