With the United States expected to double down on its fiscal stimulus measures to mitigate the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, and the U.S. Federal Reserve continuing its aggressive monetary policy easing, there is a rising risk of a sudden loss of confidence in the U.S. dollar, according to a former senior executive with the International Monetary Fund.
