Abstract

The British pound was the dominant international key currency during the nineteenth and a considerable part of the present century. A survey of the currency's historical role reveals a clear cycle with readily discernible rising and declining phases. This article endeavours to analyse, in a very compact way, the main explanatory determinants of the declining phase of the pound. This probe is motivated by the fact that foreign currencies comprise the major component of international reserves.
