Global Shift Away from USD Accelerates as Local Currencies Gain Traction
The dominance of the US dollar is facing unprecedented challenges as nations increasingly pivot toward local currencies. BRICS and ASEAN blocs are spearheading this movement, establishing intra-trade pathways that bypass the USD—a direct response to weaponization of the dollar through sanctions and tariffs.
"No reserve currency lasts forever," echoes a growing sentiment among sovereign states. The Guardian reports this structural shift is no longer theoretical but a survival strategy for economies seeking insulation from dollar volatility. Multipolar currency systems are now central to global financial discourse.
