English term or phrase: Currency board
Qualcuno conosce il corrispettivo in italiano di *Currency board*

La definizione è:
Currency Board - The requirement that a specific amount of foreign currency must back up each unit of domestic currency that is printed.

Contesto:
Not surprisingly, Argentina chose in the 1990s to have a *currency board*. A currency board provides local currency with 100 percent backing in foreign reserves. As a result there is no discretion for the central bank, no money printing to finance budget deficits, never again a devaluation.

Explanation:
Secondo l'Eurodicatom, si lascia in inglese e non va tradotto assolutamente con "fondo di stabilizzazione della moneta",perché sarebbe definizione incompleta e incomprensibile in italiano(Direttore BRI).

Explanation:
I recently had a financial translation on Argentina taken from a published Italian article. Here is the original Italian usage of Currency Board.

" A nostro avviso, due sono gli scenari possibili. Una ristrutturazione "ordinata" del debito che impone costi elevati ai creditori seguita, l'anno prossimo dall'abbandono del < currency board> ....
Alternativamente, se continuano le pressioni sui conti correnti bancari e sulle riserve del paese, necessarie per mantenere in vita una parvenza di <currency board> ....

Ciao
