A new study by the Atlantic Council’s GeoEconomics Center reveals that the U.S. dollar remains the world’s dominant reserve currency, with neither the euro nor BRICS countries making significant progress in reducing global reliance on the dollar. The “Dollar Dominance Monitor” highlights the dollar’s continued supremacy in foreign reserve holdings, trade invoicing, and currency transactions. Despite efforts by BRICS to shift towards other currencies, particularly accelerated by Western sanctions on Russia, the group has not advanced in its de-dollarization initiatives. The robust U.S. economy, tighter monetary policy, and geopolitical risks have further solidified the dollar’s dominant role.
