Negative flows of migrants could further weaken pension plans, as aging European populations struggle to balance social welfare models with demographic realities.

By increasing the wealth of Chinese consumers via their currency's value, domestic demand will supplant the role of exports. For this process to be completed, the Chinese currency, the Renminbi, must assume its place in the package of globally dominant currencies.
