BlockBeats News, November 14th, European financial stability officials are discussing whether to create an alternative to the Fed's funding mechanism, consolidating the US dollar held by central banks outside the United States. Under the leadership of the Trump administration, central banks around the world are trying to reduce their reliance on the US.
The Fed's mechanisms provide dollar loans to other central banks, acting as a lifeline to the markets in times of stress to ensure global financial stability. Interviews with over a dozen European central bank and regulatory officials revealed their concerns that these mechanisms could be "weaponized" by the Trump administration.
European officials' concerns began to rise around April, but subsided thereafter due to assurances from the Fed. The practice of consolidating the dollar faces practical challenges and may not be feasible. A White House spokesperson stated that Trump has "repeatedly reaffirmed his commitment to maintaining the strength and influence of the dollar." (FXStreet)
