The existing financial system is not tied to any reference points, and monetary policy is still aimed at actively stimulating the economy. Obviously, the world does not have sufficient sources of international liquidity in case of a crisis. What is currently considered an international monetary system is not in fact a system, because it has no rules. The voluntary consent of all major countries with regard to the existence of an international monetary system that would impose obligations on all could play a significant role in reducing the threats associated with global imbalances. However, it will be even more difficult to mobilize the political will of sovereign countries to cooperate on developing a new global system that would meet their own long-term interests.
