Abstract

Currently both the International Monetary System (IMS) and the International Price Systems (IPS) are dominated by the United States. The emergence of China, both as reserve currency and as a currency of invoicing, is likely to disrupt this status quo. We provide a framework to understand the forces that will shape this transition and identify sources of instability. We highlight the risk of an abrupt shift triggered by a run on the dollar.
