Also known as the Sterling Block. Broadly speaking, it refers to the countries that are financially and economically united around the British pound, but strictly speaking, it refers to a group of countries that link their own currency to the British pound, hold currency reserves in pounds, and conduct trade and other external transactions in pounds. All Commonwealth countries except Canada belonged to it, but the pound's significance as a key currency has faded, and since 1972, only the UK and Ireland have belonged to it. → Dollar area → Related article Pound (currency) Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
スターリング・ブロックとも。広く英ポンドを中心にして金融的・経済的に団結している諸国をいうが,厳密には自国通貨を英ポンドにリンクし,通貨準備をポンドで保有し,さらに貿易その他対外取引をポンド建で行う一群の国々をさす。カナダを除くイギリス連邦諸国が属していたが,ポンドも基軸通貨としての意味が薄れ,1972年以降は英本国とアイルランドだけ。→ドル地域 →関連項目ポンド(通貨) 出典 株式会社平凡社百科事典マイペディアについて 情報 |
