| 摘 要： | This paper submits that the advantages gained by introducing a single currency at the domestic level, applies equally to the economy at the global level. The advantages gained are （1） a reduction of the inflation rate to one common rate （if required） amongst all states, （2） a possible reduced interest rate, （3） an expansion in investment, （4） an increase in development and trade due to the removal of uncertainty, （5） the reduction in transaction costs, and （6） the reduction in the cost of capital （Moshirian, 2004, p. 306）. A single global currency has immediate implications in accounting for inflation as it presents an opportunity for the permanent removal of problems associated with accounting for inflation. This paper addresses the phenomenon of inflation and how accounting measurement and valuation associated with inflation is removed by the introduction of a single global currency.
