FLORENCE – Fears about sovereign debt and doubts about the euro rescue package have pushed the question of international reserve currencies to the fore. Until this spring, most observers had assumed that the share of the dollar in international reserves would gradually fall, while that of the euro would rise, and that the world would gradually and smoothly make a transition to a multi-reserve regime.
佛罗伦萨——对主权债务安全的担忧、对欧元营救方案的疑虑，已把国际储备货币的问题推到了前台。直到今年春天，大多数的观察家都还认为，美元在国际储备中所占的比重将逐渐下滑，欧元的比重将上升，而全世界将平缓地过渡到一种多元储备的格局。
