Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said his country has shifted some of its $82 billion of currency reserves away from the dollar and that potential foreign-exchange volatility may hurt exporters.
"We're concerned for the reason that the high percentage of our international trade is in U.S. dollars," Abdullah said today in an interview in Davos, Switzerland at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum. When asked whether Malaysia will cut its dollar holdings, he said: "We have already. We'll continue to watch the situation."

In his address to a dinner in Vancouver, Anthony Fell, chairman of RBC Capital Markets and former president of the Royal Bank of Canada, climbed into the state of currencies worldwide and put forward the place of gold as the safe haven against currency collapse in a big way.
