Abstract
The main aim of this study is to verify whether the current international
monetary system shows a transposition into a multipolar monetary
arrangement. The study is aimed at analysing the prospects of three key
currencies (the American dollar, the Euro, the Chinese renminbi) in the
context of their transposition to a multipolar monetary system. For these
currencies, the values of monetary concentration and those of the potential
of monetary internationalization were analysed. We used a new approach
for assessing the measurement potential of currency internationalization:
the fuzzy-logic model. This approach includes economic and political
factors. The prospects of the selected currencies are examined in this study
in the context of the great economic lockdown. The conclusions confirm the
existence of a trend of transposition into a multipolar monetary
arrangement.
