On paper it looks like the euro should be at least a very clear second to the dollar in investors portfolios, in government reserve holdings, in how much you invoice trade like oil or planes or things like that. But what our research finds in t

40、his book is the fact that if you look under the hood a bit, there is a huge shortfall between what you would expect just based on size and how much the euro is used. So theres an awful lot of trade thats still invoiced in dollars, not in euros, even between countries that are not dollar countries. T

41、here are huge amounts of financial flows that come to the United States, and the depth of European assets and financial flows is not commensurate with the size.填空项 1:_ （正确答案：on a global level）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：is it still a dream now）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：less attainable right now）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：by some European officials）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：way out in the front）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：London Business School）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：very much against the tide）解析：填空项 1:_
