As a result, the US has effectively joined the “currency war” to prevent further dollar appreciation. Fed officials have started to speak explicitly about the dollar as a factor that affects net exports, inflation, and growth.‎ And the US authorities have become increasingly critical of Germany and the eurozone for adopting policies that weaken the euro while avoiding those – for example, temporary fiscal stimulus and faster wage growth – that boost domestic demand.
结果，美国实际上已经加入了阻止美元进一步升值的 “货币战争”。美联储官员开始直言美元是影响净出口、通货膨胀和增长的因素。美国当局也开始日益批评德国和欧元区采取弱化欧元的政策而不采取刺激内需的政策——比如临时性财政刺激和加快工资增长。
