Hey Lyn! I'd like to hear an expert on an idea about the Triffin dilemma (currency appreciation vs. trade deficit and industry offshoring).
💡
Has anyone considered dumping? As in tax credits based on exports...
This would be a measure to export deflation, a possibility to counter the export of inflation.
I know WTO AD agreement (Marrakesh 1994) bans it, but what if?
Interesting sequence of historic events though:
*Breton woods (44), gave birth to Triffin dilemma.
*WTO (47), with a framework that pushed US to have trade defcits ("protectionism" bad).
*gold default (71) as natural result of deficits, followed by petrodollar system,
*plaza accord (84) to devalue USD, with lots of unintended, or unadvertised, consequences.
*WTO AD agreement (94), basically planted the seeds for plaza 2.0, since antidumping rules prohibits the US to export dollars WITH goods (keeping industry and jobs alive while reducing deficits).
