Foreign economic growth and the dollar

Owen Humpage

Economic Commentary, 2000, issue Sep

Abstract: Analysts caution that rapid foreign economic growth could induce a depreciation of the dollar, as international investors diversify their portfolios in favor of higher returns abroad. Although we cannot establish a simple relationship between foreign growth and the dollar, we can conclude that if a desire to diversify out of dollars lies dormant among investors, faster growth abroad may stir it.
