Policy makers are considering whether to shadow a basket of currencies consisting mainly of dollars, he said. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=a5GsGlFSegts&refer=home"><P> A switch by the federation of sheikhdoms would follow Kuwait, which ended the fixed exchange rate for the dinar in May.
