Les monnaies dont la crédibilité dépend de leur arrimage au dollar US.
I of course know what this means in a general way, and also in this particular context. But does anybody have a better translation than "link" or "connexion" or "tie"?
Thank you for any possible help.

: "Tied" is also possible, but "pegged" is by far the most widely used term.

(currencies) pegged to (the USD)
I have often seen this expression... I think "tied to" does the job, "linked" is a bit weak...

: "Being pegged to" is the best translation here, I think; translating "arrimage" as a noun ("their pegging") does not work well in the context.

"Why Do Countries Peg the Way They Peg?
The Determinants of Anchor Currency Choice
...
A criticism of this methodology is that exchange rates may appear “pegged” due to the mere absence or symmetry of shocks, rather than due to a policy intention to peg the exchange rate. However, if an exchange rate consistently appears to be pegged (or anchored) to one currency, but not to another, one may ask whether this absence of variability is really a coincidence or whether there is an observable policy being followed.
