Crise do Dólar aproxima-se ?
Opec's exposure to dollar reduced sharply since 2001
.....................................................................................
Oil exporters have sharply reduced their exposure to the US dollar over the past three years, according to data from the Bank for International Settlements. Members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries have cut the proportion of deposits held in dollars from 75 per cent in the third quarter of 2001 to 61.5 per cent. Middle Eastern central banks have reportedly switched reserves from dollars to euros and sterling to avoid losses as the dollar has fallen and prepare for a shift away from pricing oil only in dollars.
