Reserve Currency

A reserve currency is a currency that is held by central and commercial banks in order to service debts, purchase commodities (which are ordinarily priced in the reserve currency) and influence exchange rates. This currency is held in reserve so as to minimise exchange rate risk. Since the end of the Second World War the US dollar has been the world’s reserve currency.
