Creating Monetary Measurement Unit (MMU) as the Global Universal Measure for Hedging against Inflation and Currency Risk
Main Article Content
Abstract
The paper presents an indicator created to reflect the long-term stability in the trend of real growth of the global economy, based on the current market data through a basket of currencies with a government bond yields based premium. The results suggest that the indicator is adequate to be considered as a benchmark for widespread indexation, with a potential hedging for diverse types of contracts and assets against price level volatility and currency risk on an international scale.
