Some governments invest their reserves in foreign currencies. China and Japan deliberately buy the currencies of their main export partners. The United States is the largest export partner in China, and second largest in Japan. They try to keep their currencies cheaper in comparison so their exports are competitively priced. The Bretton Woods agreement kickstarted the dollar into its current position. Before then, most countries were on the gold standard.
Their governments promised to redeem their currencies for their value in gold upon demand. The world's developed countries met at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, to peg the exchange rate for all currencies to the U. At that time, the United States held the largest gold reserves.
This agreement allowed other countries to back their currencies with dollars rather than gold. By the early s, countries began demanding gold for the dollars they held. They needed to combat inflation.
Rather than allow Fort Knox to be depleted of all its reserves, President Nixon separated the dollar from gold. By that time, the dollar had already become the world's dominant reserve currency.

China was concerned that the trillions it holds in dollars would be worthless if dollar inflation set in.
This could happen as a result of increased U. Treasurys to support U. In the fourth quarter of , the Chinese renminbi became another one of the world's reserve currencies.

To do so, China is reforming its economy. Despite trillions of dollars in foreign debt and continuous large deficit spending, the United States still holds global trust and confidence in its ability to pay its obligations.
