Dollar in danger: Is the USA losing control over the global economy?
A current analysis deals with the Mirror with the declining influence of the US dollar as the global reserve currency. This development has far-reaching consequences for the global economy, as the dollar has traditionally been considered the dominant means of payment for international trade and reserves.
Analysts emphasize that the value of the dollar has changed in recent years. In particular, buyers and investors in emerging markets and some European nations are showing interest in alternatives. The increase in trade deals conducted in currencies other than the dollar reinforces this trend. Readers can find further information on this topic in the article on the website Mirror.
Causes of change
The move away from the dollar also has institutional factors. International organizations and multinationals have begun to reassess their portfolios and are increasingly relying on currencies such as the euro, the yuan and other regional currencies. This diversification is also reflected in central bank reserves, where the dollar's share of global foreign exchange reserves is gradually declining.
