  • For more than seven decades, the United States dollar has been the world’s reserve currency, with a majority of international transactions using the greenback. CNBC’s Uptin Saiidi explains how it became so strong and explores whether its position could be threatened.

    diplomatic influence and military force in the middle east to secure the dollar as the currency for oil trading is one of the primary reasons why dollar is used a lot in international trading and hence becomes a reserved currency. Many small economies also don't have the power to issue their currency based on government debt, instead they peg their currency on the dollar, which require them to hold dollar in reserves.
    The US as long used the dollar's dominate position to its advantage. First example, creating the international banking system known as SWIFT. Dollar money going internationally goes through SWIFT, which the US is monitoring the transactions. This is why if an entity in any nation tries do business with a country that US sanctions, such as North Korea or Iran, they can be caught by the US and sued by the US. Even though sanctioning the country is a political decision within the US, the international community as no bargaining power into that decision, there is no UN vote into that sanction decision. Internal US politics becomes international law.
    Second example, US government can continue issue US debt without much worry because countries need to ensure US dollar they are holding in their reserves continues to be stable. This is why you see governments around the world continues to buy up US debt whenever US has a financial/economic crisis even though these crisis has nothing to do with these governments. Its basically foreign governments financially assist the US's internal issues. For example, the financial crisis in 08 was caused by lack of government oversight into risky assets in the US. During the recovery, many countries around the world bought a ton of US debt to stabilize US economy. The federal reserve in the US can also do quantitative easing (QE) The fed buying US based debt using money it has printed, this essentially creates m0. But this increase in m0 has no corresponding increase in GDP. This has several effects. 1. reduces yield of US based debt held by other nations. 2. Reduces the purchase power of US reserves held by other nations
    Third, raising worth of the dollar during an economic crisis is because global investors dump riskier assets, such as those in developing economies, for comparatively safer assets in developed economies. QE and low interest rates might also increases the US dollar's worth as money in saving accounts and created during QE goes out into the stock and restate market, driving up the desire to own dollars and invest in the US. This capital flight from developing economies causes the price of their assets to fall and the value of their currency to fall. The first effect is that the citizens of the developing countries net worth is reduced as most of that is domestic currency denominated. Second, the lower worth of assets in developing economies allow investors using the dollar to re-purchase these assets at the lower price than when the capital left at a later date. As capital represents value and the movement of capital represent movement of value, this movement of capital represent a transfer of wealth from developing economy to developed economy. We see this whenever there is a global crisis that spokes the markets. Just look at how the Indian rupee fell against the dollar during and after the 08 financial crisis and 2020 financial crisis.

      I like your sophisticated comment and agree with most statements you made. Not sure if I’d agree with all of them, though. To pick one: low rates always cause a currency to devaluate - that’s the most basic economic theory, right? Or do you mean that that impact is more than offset because US asset values grow, which attracts additional investments? If so, where is the evidence that this effect more than offsets the basic effect of lower rates devaluating a currency?

    - Confidence (Its value has a track history of stability, reliability, and acceptance as common currency)
    - Reliability (No surprises. Its value is not subject to wide variation. This is also affected by how its managed, independentsly of politics in general)
    As long as the American Dollar is managed well, it has a consistent, reliable value which almost anyone globally can take as part of a transaction and in turn be exchanged again at some future time without an unexpected change in value.

    US dollar became so “powerful” only after US first terrorised the Middle East and then provided security to Saudis in exchange for them selling their oil exclusively for dollars. This system still stands. When Iraq started to sell its oil for alternative currencies, the US felt an urgent need to seed democracy there.

      Exactly, fereral reserve is printing like there is no tommorow. *$trillions* are being dumped into big corporations which then pay millions to their CEO's and fire workers. In few months to years, USD will lose so much value, my guess is lots of countries will stop using it. Imagine having like 75% of your country's reserve in a currency which starts losing 10%, then another 5%, next month yet another 10%... It was dumb in the first place to use USD. This argument is dumb ( *I don't know how much your currency is valued, hurr, durr* ), well look it up dummy, we have internet now. And who pays so much money in paper? All of this is done over online banking systems which kows the value of *every currency* , with just a few seconds of delay.
      My point is that every country should keep reserves in their own currency, and convert it on the fly when they do trade transactions. How difficult that can be?

    In 1971 Nixon "temporarily" took the US dollar of the gold standard, after years of printing more dollars than they had gold to back it. After the US defaulted on all its debt in 1971, the fiat dollar rapidly lost a huge amount of value in terms of gold. Since then the US dollar has lost 97% of its purchasing power. It also opened the door to many price distortions over the years, as the Fed kept increasing the money supply and debasing the fiat currency. Today the Fed is little more than a printing press pretending to be a central bank.

      Yes, but remember the other countries are over printing their currency too. And there are so many more dollars than anything else, the inflation rate will tend to be higher in the other countries. Thus the dollar is more stable than the others. The idea of Bitcoin and Ethereum is to counter all of this money printing. It will take time before people see what digital currency is and how it works.

    Any country's currency (although manipulated and speculated upon by financial players) is as strong as "purchasing power" of the country's population. "Purchasing power" may be artificially "enforced" by the country's credit institutions "feeding" credits to the population. The population's and national debt is relevant to this but beyond this view.

    The US dollar holds value because America is stable, the American system works. From the beginning to the present America is the same nation, it has never collapsed, it has never been overthrown, the original system is still the same system 250 years later. America is solid and dependable, American money is solid and dependable, that will not change anytime soon, count on it.
