From within\, fiscal imbalances and tariff\nuncertainty have produced the dollar’s steepest decline in years.\nFrom without\, China is advancing RMB internationalization through \ncurrency swaps\, the digital yuan\, and the BRICS Bridge platform. The\n monetary contest now mirrors the trade war\, the US and China are\nsimulta neously building rival payment rails\, reserve frameworks\, and\nfinancial market access regimes. The deeper risk is not replacement\nbut fragmentat ion\, leaving emerging markets and sovereign debt holders\nstranded betwee n two rival architectures. This conference will\nconfront the defining que stion of our monetary moment: whether\nUS–China rivalry will reshape or shatter the dollar-driven order\,\nand what a bifurcated system means for sovereign borrowers\, central\nbanks\, and the future of international fin ance.\n DTSTART:20260409T120000Z DTEND:20260409T160000Z LOCATION:Gerri C.
