European Central Bank council member Ewald Nowotny said a âtri-polarâ global currency system is developing between Asia, Europe and the U.S. and that heâs skeptical the U.S. dollarâs centrality can be revived.
âWhat I see is a system where we have more centers of gravityâ Nowotny said today in an interview with Austrian state broadcaster ORF-TV. âI see for the future a tri-polar development, and I donât think that there will be fixed exchange rates between these poles.â
The leaders of the U.S., France and the European Commission will ask other world leaders to join in a series of summits on the global financial crisis beginning in the U.S. soon after the Nov. 4 presidential election, President George W. Bush, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and European Commission President Jose Barroso said in a joint statement yesterday.
Nowotny said he was âskepticalâ when asked whether the Bretton Woods System of monetary policy, set up after World War II and revised in 1971, could be revived to aid global currency stability. The U.S. meeting should aim to strengthen financial regulation, define bank capital ratios and review the role of debt-rating agencies.
