黄金在国际货币体系变革中的作用

Role of gold in the reform of the international monetary system

从人类建立第一个国际货币体系——金本位制开始,黄金就在国际货币体系中发挥着关键性作用。布雷顿森林体系建立后,美元取代黄金,成为全球最主要的储备资产;布雷顿森林体系解体后,黄金的货币功能逐渐弱化,而美元依然保持着强势。文中回顾了国际货币体系的演变历程,考察了黄金在国际货币体系变革中的作用,着重分析了国际货币体系的现状与问题,说明了黄金在未来国际货币体系中依然不可或缺;这对未来国际货币体系改革具有一定的指导作用。

Gold has played an important role in the monetary system since the first international monetary system in human history-gold standard system-is established. The Bretton Woods System pushed the dollar to the foreground of the international monetary system replacing gold to become the primary reserve asset. As a monetary role, gold has gradually drifted into the background after the collapse of the Bretton Woods System, while the dollar still dominates the international monetary system. The paper reviews the evolution of the international monetary system, and explores the role of gold in the reform of the international monetary system. The paper analyzed the present situation and prob- lems of the international monetary system, and concluded that gold still plays an important role in the international mo- netary system. The analysis offers guidance to the reform of the international monetary system.
