| An agreement, which was reached five years ago between the US Administration, the European partners and China on an increased influence for the emerging economies in the International Monetary Fund (IMF), has been blocked by the US Congress. China has now responded to this provocation by creating competing institutions to the World Bank, the latest being the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). Leading European countries have decided to be co-founders. Governor Zhou of the People’s Bank of China highlighted in a speech on the 21st March 2015 once again the Chinese interest in a larger role for China and for the RMB in the IMF and in the Special Drawing Rights. He also indicated that the alternative is to accelerate the use of the RMB as a reserve currency. Many expect that the dormant initiative to an Asian Monetary Fund also may be revived. Are we facing a global governance crisis and does this reflect a general decline in the role of and respect for International Law? Is there a way to save a common institutional framework and especially the development of a common International Market Law? |
