What does this phrase mean?

hi all,

i saw this sentence on a web "the euro and the yen may not mean as much this time around, as the currency arena has more heavyweight participants". basically i can understand it but i'm not sure about what "this time around" means.

so please explain it to me

thanks so much

He's saying "right now". The phrase implies that there are time periods in which he pays attention to the currency market. It could mean "this year" "this quarter" "this month", etc.
