Abstract

[eng] The euro as an international currency . This article explains some of the basic considerations that confront the euro in its emergence as a key international currency. An international currency emerges because it is a solution to an economic problem : cross-border transactions. Because the attractiveness of any vehicle currency grows as its liquidity increases, an international currency has a tendency to become a natural monopoly. But the important factor inhibiting the emergence and persistence of a single vehicle currency throughout the world is the attraction of portfolio diversification. So, this article tries to explains how a currency become an international currency. . JEL classification : E42, F3, F36 [fre] Cet article aborde certaines des considérations de base auxquelles l'euro est confronté en tant que devise internationale clé. Une devise internationale émerge parce qu'elle constitue la solution à un problème économique : celui des transactions transfrontalières. Puisque l'attrait de toute devise véhicule s'accroît à mesure que sa liquidité augmente, une devise internationale a tendance à devenir un monopole naturel. Mais le facteur essentiel qui inhibe l'émergence et la persistance d'une devise véhicule unique dans le monde entier est l'attrait de la diversification du portefeuille. Cet article tente donc de préciser comment une devise devient une devise internationale. . Classification JEL : E42, F3, F36
