After its foundation and the launch of its website in 2008, the GSU initiated communication with governmental agencies, central banks, corporate and academic entities, etc. In 2009 it published its first Briefing Note.

Quotes

 

In a world of considerable exchange rate volatility, there is much merit in this initiative of the GCU exchange settlement mechanism to act as a stabilizing tool when conducting cross-currency trade and investment.

  If implemented as proposed, this should indeed provide a long lasting solution on problems relating to international trade and investment for the whole world.  

We laud the objective of the GC Union to develop and implement a global, apolitical and non-geographically-based payment settlement mechanism to facilitate increased global trade and investment and thus facilitate the creation of wealth.

Your initiative for an introduction of the Global Currency Unit (GCU) is quite interesting. We, at the Bulgarian National Bank are convinced that the constant search for new solutions to address weaknesses and shortcomings in the global financial system is of interest to all.

       

Your overall aim to find a way to reduce currency exchange rate risk in cross-border trade and investment decisions is indeed a worthy one.

 

       

Your action to develop a new payment settlement facility to minimize the risk from exchange rate volatility is innovative and laudable.
