Annotations:
Throughout the last few decades, the value of the dollar has slowly decreased as the national debt has increased. In recent years, the value decrease has become more rapid, and the national debt has skyrocketed to very alarming levels. This has affected international markets as much as it has affected the national economy. For example, the Indian rupee has had a very significant decline in value in the last few years as well, which has been greatly theorized to be due to the decline of the dollar in some way. The reasons for the decline of the dollar are abundant, but one of the biggest began around 2008. During the financial crisis of that year, investors, domestic and abroad, became apprehensive and less likely to trade with the dollar. However, because the dollar is the international standard for trading, its financial woes have negatively impacted international markets as well.
The issues that the dollar has faced in the recent years are very worrisome, but the issue has taken on a new factor. Because the decline of the dollar is now becoming more and more negative in other international trading markets, it shows that the United States is not the only country facing issues with currency. This is an issue with international implications. If the trends of the economic and financial worlds allow for the decline to continue, there are many countries around the world that will feel the consequences. The problem cannot be taken care of quickly, but if there is no effort put forward towards a gradual increase in the viability and overall value of the dollar, the world as a whole could be in a large amount of trouble.
