Abstract
- The article discusses how anti-recessionary policies involving low interest rates might put pressure on the foreign reserve position of the United States by bringing about a conversion of foreign-held dollar balances in gold. The article also examines the influence of monetary and fiscal measures on current account. The article's general conclusion is that those movements in foreign holdings between gold and dollar assets throughout the years, which could be attributed to interest-rate changes, account for only a small fraction of total foreign dollar holdings.
