IMF总裁警告：美元可能暴跌
美元兑欧元汇率昨日创下历史新低，原因是国际货币基金组织(IMF)总裁罗德里戈?拉托(Rodrigo Rato)警告称，美元可能遭遇大幅下挫，动摇投资者对美国资产的信心。
The dollar hit a record low against the euro yesterday as Rodrigo Rato, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, warned that the US currency could suffer a dramatic fall that would shake confidence in American assets.
这位即将卸任的IMF总裁表示，美元的贬值一直比较有序，但他警告称，美元存在遭遇失控抛售的风险，而这种抛售将会影响全球主要经济体的增长。
The outgoing IMF managing director said the depreciation of the dollar had been orderly, but cautioned there was a risk of a runaway sell-off that would hit growth in major economies.
美元无序下跌的风险在上周末期间似乎有所增加，因为IMF此前未能就内部改革达成一致。这一改革本将为IMF在管理全球经济失衡中发挥更大作用创造条件。
The risks of a disorderly fall in the US currency appeared to increase over the weekend after the IMF failed to agree internal reforms that would have set the stage for it to take on a greater role managing global economic imbalances.
“截至目前，汇率的变动一直比较有序，并且符合基本面。但存在美元暴跌的风险，这种暴跌可能是因为投资者对美元资产失去信心，而它本身也可能促使投资者对美元资产失去信心，”拉托表示。
“Up to now, movements in exchange rates have been orderly and in line with fundamentals. But there are risks that an abrupt fall in the dollar could either be triggered by, or itself trigger, a loss of confidence in dollar assets,” Mr Rato said.
