(Bloomberg) -- The dollars role in international trade should be reduced by establishing a new currency to protect emerging markets from the confidence game of financial speculation, the United Nations said.

UN countries should agree on the creation of a global reserve bank to issue the currency and to monitor the national exchange rates of its members, the Geneva-based UN Conference on Trade and Development said

***********************************************************
The following is a summary of the main economic events from the Asia-Pacific and European sessions:
