Summary: As large emerging market economies take on an increasing role in the global economy, it is useful to explore the possibility of their currencies attaining “international” status. The benefits of currency “internationalization” have to be balanced against country-specific and systemic risks which could result, for instance, from sudden portfolio shifts and reduced network externalities. In this context, the paper contributes to the debate on strengthening the IMS by surveying the evolving landscape of international currencies and examining a number of questions: What is the potential for internationalizing the use of emerging market currencies? What are the benefits/risks to emerging market economies and the system, and how can any risks be managed? And, how might emerging market currency internationalization contribute to IMS stability?
