Southard, Jr.* A common currency emerges when two or more political units use the same currency as their sole or predominant legal tender. It may be issued by one political unit (an independent country or a political de- pendency) and made legal tender in one or several other units, or it may be issued by an institution common to all the participating units. A common currency is to be distinguished from a monetary agree- ment by which a group of countries provides for some degree of inter- change of their currencies. 1 However, the distinction between the two becomes narrow in some cases. The Latin Monetary Union, organized in 1865 by Belgium, France, Italy and Switzerland, provided for standard coins which all public offices were required to accept, even though they were separately minted by each country.

Since the beginning of the credit s crisis, the US realized the dollar will lose its role em as the world’s reserve currency, and has been planning for a monetary reset. According to Willem Middelkoop, this reset MIDD Willem will be designed to keep the US in the driver’s seat, allowing the new monetary system to include significant roles for other currencies such as the euro and China’s renminbi. s Middelkoop PREPARE FOR THE COMING RESET E In all likelihood gold will be re-introduced as one of the pillars LKOOP of this next phase in the global financial system. The predic- s tion is that gold could be revalued at $ 7,000 per troy ounce. By looking past the American ‘smokescreen’ surrounding gold TWarh on Golde and the dollar long ago, China and Russia have been accumu- lating massive amounts of gold reserves, positioning them- THE selves for a more prominent role in the future to come. The and the reset will come as a shock to many. The Big Reset will help everyone who wants to be fully prepared. Financial illem Middelkoop (1962) is founder of the Commodity BIG Endgame Discovery Fund and a bestsell- s ing author, who has been writing about the world’s financial system since the early 2000s.

  • France's Pacific Territories: Nickel, Tourism and the Challenge of The
    EcoNotepad - post n°216 France’s Pacific territories: nickel, tourism and the challenge of the health crisis By Grâce Constant, Andréa Tran Van Hong and Marie Rouger In the face of the Covid-19 crisis, New Caledonia’s economy, which is highly dependent on nickel, is showing some resilience thanks to the buoyant global nickel market, while French Polynesia’s economy is being harder hit by the lockdown measures due to the high weight of tourism. The impact of the crisis is nonetheless being limited by non-market services, which are a key source of resilience in both territories. Chart 1: Economic characteristics of the French overseas collectivities in the Pacific Ocean Wallis and Futuna 2018 population: 11,558 French Polynesia PIB 2005 GDP : €151 million 2020 population: 278,400 2005 GDP per capita: €10,100 2019 GDP: €5.4 billion 2018 unemployment rate*: 17.4% 2019 GDP per capita:€19,481 Activities: fishing and agriculture 2018 unemployment rate: 14.5% for domestic consumption Activities: tourism, pearl farming New Caledonia 2019 population: 271,407 2019 GDP: €8.4 billion 2019 GDP per capita: €31,061 2019 unemployment rate: 10.9% *According to the census Activities: nickel Source: Institut National de la Statistique et des Études Économiques (INSEE – French National Institute for Statistics and Economic Research). Note: These territories are not included in France’s balance of payment statistics and have their own balances of payments, compiled by the IEOM. Wallis and Futuna does not have a balance of payments due to the small size of its economy. The balances of payments for New Caledonia and French Polynesia, two collectivities in the Pacific Ocean, are typical of French overseas economies: they show large structural deficits in trade and government transfers, linked to the islands’ institutional attachment to mainland EcoNotepad - post n°216 France.

  • The Franc Zone
    The franc zone The franc zone is an economic, monetary and cultural area that is equivalent to none other in the world. It is made up of very diverse states and territories and results from developments and changes in the former French colonial empire. After attaining their independence, most of the newly-created African states decided to remain within a homogenous group characterised by a new institutional framework and a common exchange rate mechanism. Fact Sheet The franc zone is made up of France and 15 African states: Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo in West Africa, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon in Central Africa, and the Comoros. The franc zone is a rare example of close institutionalised cooperation between countries from two continents that share a common language and history. The Banque de France has developed close ties with the franc zone central banks, with which it works towards ensuring the smooth functioning of the area’s shared institutions. This Fact Sheet describes the franc zone’s institutional structures and the changes they are undergoing, and brings to the fore the franc zone countries’ determination to forge ahead with regional integration in order to support growth and reduce poverty. The franc zone annual report provides detailed information on the eco- nomic and financial situation of the franc zone. It is published by the Banque de France and available on its website www.banque-france.fr n° 127 April 2002 updated July 2010 Communication Directorate 1. HISTORY OF THE FRANC ZONE 1.1.

  • French Overseas Territories and the Euro
    French overseas territories and the euro Nicolas de SÈZE Aurélie MARCHAND Romain BARDY Director General Studies and International Legal Affairs Directorate of the IEDOM and IEOM and European Relations Directorate The many institutional changes that have occurred in recent years or are underway in the French overseas territories have altered the dividing line, which initially was simple, between the French regime and the European regime: the French overseas “departments” (DOM) corresponded to the “outermost regions” (OR) and the French overseas “territories” (TOM) to the “overseas countries and territories” (OCT). The landscape then became more complex, with the emergence of disparities between national and European legal classifi cations. The euro has thus become the currency of overseas communities outside the territorial scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). This has required the adoption of a series of mechanisms for ensuring the application of the rules necessary for the functioning of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). However, the Lisbon Treaty, which came into force in 2009, brought in greater coherence, which points to a relative simplifi cation of the monetary regime of French overseas territories. In the fi rst part of this article, we examine the regime of the French overseas territories with respect to French and European law and the problems raised by the disparities between these two legal frameworks. We then explain the solution provided by the Treaty of Lisbon. In the second part, we analyse the regime of French overseas territories from a monetary and payments perspective and their possible developments. Keywords: overseas, euro, DOM, COM, OR, OCT, monetary regime, CFP franc JEL codes: E42 NB: Aurélie MARCHAND has joined the Cash Management and Branch Network Activities Directorate General Banque de France • Quarterly Selection of Articles • No.
