History of petrodollar

- Bretton Woods international monetary system established in 1944
- US Dollar became world reserve currency backed by 20,000 tonnes of gold
- Dollar pegged to gold at $35/oz
- Inflation (esp in late 1960's) caused the value of dollar to decline and value of gold to rise
- Foreigners depleted US gold reserves to 8,100 tonnes to buy the cheap gold
- Nixon lifted gold backing from dollar in 1971 to stop the gold hemorrhage
- Agreements made with Saudi Arabia to create petrodollar in exchange for House of Saud regime support in 1971 and 1973
- OPEC oil is quoted and traded in US dollars. OPEC controls 81% of world reserves.
- Instead of dollar backed by gold, the dollar is backed by oil. All major oil purchases by any country must use dollars.
- If dollar is no longer backed by oil, dollar will lose reserve currency status and lose value
