摘要:In the global nancial and business world, the wealth that an entity owns usually is composed of various assets or measured by dierent currencies, whose value is dependent on the uctuation of the foreign exchange rates. The analysis of dynamics associated with the foreign exchange rates is one of the important concerns to market strategists, nancial planners or risk managers such that a fundamental problem is induced as how to measure the wealth objectively. In this talk, a concept of the virtual standard currency (VSC) is proposed as a methodology to measure the wealth in a currency portfolio objectively. The VSC is regarded as a virtual base currency such that any real foreign exchange rate matrix is approximated by a rank one matrix consisting of two virtual exchange rate vectors. The existence of the VSC is proved through an optimal solution to the basic rank one approximation problem. The evaluation of wealth in a currency portfolio is free from the buying or selling operations in real currencies so that the currency portfolio is kept invariant during the measurement. The VSC can eliminate uncertainties arising from the choice of particular real currency and the interactive eects across dierent kinds of currencies. Using VSC, a virtual standard true coin system (different from Libra) can be formed.
