Wealthy countries have spent more than $ 9 trillion on overcoming the economic impact of COVID-19. And costs are currently increasing as governments try to ensure the functioning of the economy after a pandemic. The damage done can go beyond the financial crisis and possibly even the Great Depression. This is the worst economic crisis in 70 years. Now investors are rushing to a safe place. 11-year growth in US stock markets has ended. And there is one reliable harbor that everyone is counting on, and that is not gold. This is the dollar. Despite all the talk that the dollar will lose its reserve currency status, it turned out to be just that, talk Emerging markets suffered a major blow to the dollar. The Indonesian rupee has lost nearly 14 percent of its value since the beginning of the year. The Russian ruble and the Mexican peso lost a fifth of their value. The problem for emerging markets is that they may want to lower interest rates to stimulate the coronavirus-affected economy, but it will further undermine their currencies. And interest payments on dollar debts have just grown, having unbalanced finances. The pound fell more than 10 percent, the level that was last seen in 1985. The United Kingdom’s divorce from the European Union violated the stability of the pound, which is believed to have been tied to the fate of the continent. The best currency is the Argentine peso, the best in the sense that it fell the least compared to other Latin American countries. The fact that he introduced capital controls restricts cash flows from the country to overcome the economic crisis certainly helped. The dollar has been the leading currency in the world for more than a century. Today, more than 60 percent of all foreign bank reserves and 40 percent of all debts are held in US dollars.

Do you think an international monetary system with currencies valued on the basis of gold would work today? Why or why not?
I don’t think that an international monetary system with currencies valued on the basis of gold would work today because in the past when the nations involved in the first world war needed to finance their wars expenses, they needed to print more money and that is impossible to do when the money is tied to a fix rate such as gold. Furthermore, doing so would cause rapid inflations. Imagine if the world monetary system was tied to gold during this pandemic of the covid-19, nations wouldn’t been able to print more money to boost the economy, companies would have to close for good, and a raise in unemployment would have been unavoidable. U.S. would have being unable to get a stimulus package worth trillions of dollars to help families and businesses (Wild and Wild, 2019).
Do you think implementing a global version of the old European monetary system would work today? Why or why not?
I don’t believe that an old European monetary system would work in today’s economy because it requires for members to de-and revalue their currencies if necessary. Any monetary system that is based on speculation, in my opinion is soon to be doomed. We could see how this type of system failed in the past and how it could fail again in the future when both the British pound and the Italian lira had been on the lower fringe of the allowable 2.25 percent fluctuation range with the German mark and currency speculators began unloading their pounds and lira. When the central banks of neither Britain nor Italy had enough money to buy their currencies back, their currencies plummet and they were forced to leave they ERM (Wild and Wild, 2019).
Are cryptocurrencies the future?
I do believe that cryptocurrencies have the potential to become a monetary system for the future. If cryptocurrencies are able to find a way to have a central authority that could ensure that things could run smoothly or back the value, then they could become the future of currencies. Another thing that cryptocurrencies should work on before it could become widely acceptable is to find a way to keep the value more steadily instead of the wildly swings that it’s possible to have in its value. I believe the closest to become a cryptocurrency of the future is Libra. Libra is a blockchain technology just like bitcoin but with a stable value backed by a reserve of assets made up cash or cash equivalents and very short-term government securities. The idea was introduced by Facebook associates and other companies that were named as the Libra Association first members and the reserve basket would be made up 50% U.S. dollar, 18% Euro, 14% Japanese yen, 11% Pound sterling and 7% Singapore dollar (libra.org, n.d.)
