Caso contrário arriscam-se a que os estrangeiros deixem de financiar o país.
Os principais financiadores, Japão e China, estão carregados de USD que não rendem nada (com as taxas a este nível ter tantos USD é um disparate) e ainda por cima veêm-se a braços com um desequilíbrio nas suas reservas câmbiais. O peso do USD é cada vez maior e já começam a existir sinais de que há vontade de alterar a estrutura das reservas cambiais destes países.

Japan says to cautiously consider gold in reserves
Wed January 28, 2004 07:49 AM ET
TOKYO, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Japanese Finance Minister Sadakazu Tanigaki said on Wednesday he wanted to carefully consider whether to change the weighting of gold in Japan's foreign reserves.
Tanigaki told a parliamentary committee he thought it necessary to take a standpoint of diversifying assets in Japan's foreign reserves, which are mostly made up of dollar-denominated assets.
Asked about gold, he said he would think about it carefully.
"There are various discussions about the positioning of gold in foreign reserves, even among...currency authorities," Tanigaki said.
"If I say something too simply, I think there could be a large effect on gold markets...so I would like to consider it carefully," he said.
Japan's official reserves amounted to a record high $673.529 billion at the end of December, up from $644.569 billion a month earlier, the Ministry of Finance said this month.
Included in that amount were gold stocks which stood at $10.241 billion at the end of December, up from $9.80 billion a month earlier.
