Sovereign Currencies Meet Three Criteria
Investment Management Division
Goldman Sachs
1) They are used as a medium of exchange.
– To represent a medium of exchange, an instrument must facilitate the transaction of goods or services between parities (US$ are used to buy a barrel of oil).
2) They serve as unit of account.
– A unit of account is a measurement which allows value to be accounted and compared (a barrel of WTI is worth ~$55).
3) They are a store of value.
– A store of value is an asset that can be saved, stored, and exchanged in the future for a predictable stable value (with 2% annual inflation, a nominal dollar today will be worth 82¢ in 10 years).
