Registration Option:
The dollar remains the anchor of the global financial system, but its dominance is under pressure. From within, fiscal imbalances and tariff uncertainty have produced the dollar’s steepest decline in years. From without, China is advancing RMB internationalization through currency swaps, the digital yuan, and the BRICS Bridge platform. The monetary contest now mirrors the trade war, the US and China are simultaneously building rival payment rails, reserve frameworks, and financial market access regimes. The deeper risk is not replacement but fragmentation, leaving emerging markets and sovereign debt holders stranded between two rival architectures. This conference will confront the defining question of our monetary moment: whether US–China rivalry will reshape or shatter the dollar-driven order, and what a bifurcated system means for sovereign borrowers, central banks, and the future of international finance.
