US officials are【C1】______ out a deal to end the government shutdown and【C2】______ its debt limit, hoping to avoid a global【C3】______ crisis. Meanwhile, some eyed【C4】______ to the US dollar to avoid a repeat. Earlier this week, an editorial from Xinhua news agency, called【C5】______ a new international reserve currency to【C6】______ the dollar. "It is perhaps a good time for the【C7】______ world to start considering building a de-Americanized world," it said. An organization like the International Monetary Fund could theoretically【C8】______ an entirely new international currency, says Benjamin Cohen of the University of California, but political disagreement would raise its ugly【C9】______ again. "Think of all the trouble the European Monetary Union has had【C10】______ with just 17 countries. Now【C11】______ by ten." "I think it much more likely that another【C12】______ currency becomes more important in international markets," says Menzie Chinn of the University of Wisconsin. "The Chinese are, with mixed【C13】______, pursuing a path of making their own currency more international." 【C14】______ don"t expect to be cashing in renminbi any time soon. The last big【C15】______ in reserve currency, from British pounds to the US dollar, began in the 1950s and【C16】______ two decades. Even if we could just【C17】______ the dollar overnight, no other currency, including the renminbi, can currently【C18】______ it, says Cohen. "Governments still use the dollar, 【C19】______ the current political difficulty in Washington, because of its【C20】______ availability, deep liquidity and wide acceptability."
