Why should we have listened better to Robert Triffin
Speech delivered by Jan Joost Teunissen, director of FONDAD and administrator of the Robert Triffin International Foundation.
Jan Joost Teunissen gave a speech at a conference in Louvain-la-Neuve (7-8 May 2009) in which he advocated fundamental reform of the international monetary system. In his speech, "Why should we have listened better to Robert Triffin?", he refers to the March 2009 plea by China's central banker Zhou Xiaochuan to create a new global reserve currency replacing the dollar. Teunissen reminds that three years earlier Fan Gang, member of the Monetary Policy Committee of China's central bank and member of the Fondad Network, made a similar plea in his contribution to the Fondad conference and book Global Imbalances and the US Debt Problem: Should Developing Countries Support the US Dollar?
