Strategy to Strengthen the Dollar's Global Role and Analyze Digital Currencies
This Act mandates the U.S. government to develop and implement a strategy aimed at maintaining the dollar's dominant position in global trade and finance. While it does not introduce direct changes to personal finances, its goal is to ensure long-term economic stability, indirectly protecting citizens' purchasing power. A key component is the required analysis of threats posed by foreign digital currencies, including China's, and the status of a potential U.S. digital dollar.
Key points
The U.S. government must establish a plan to ensure the dollar remains the world's primary reserve currency, supporting national economic stability.
Annual reports are required on the progress of foreign digital currencies (like China's) and an assessment of risks to U.S. national security.
The Treasury Secretary must evaluate the role of the Chinese currency (renminbi) in global finance and recommend policy options to mitigate risks.
