De-Dollarization
De-dollarization is the process by which countries reduce their dependence on the US dollar in international trade, reserves, and financial transactions. This trend involves diversifying into other currencies or assets, often driven by geopolitical considerations or the desire for greater monetary sovereignty.
Example
“Several BRICS nations accelerated de-dollarization efforts by settling bilateral trade in local currencies rather than US dollars.”
