A transition to a multipolar monetary order? Trends in currency concentration and internationalization of the US Dollar, the Euro, and the Renminbi

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
