Dollar

In a new verbal escalation, Donald Trump, elected president of the United States, has shaken global markets. Indeed, he has threatened to impose 100% tariffs on the nations of the BRICS alliance. This statement comes in a tense economic context, where the dollar, a cornerstone of international trade, is increasingly being challenged by emerging powers. Such a challenge to the monetary status quo could well reshape the global geopolitical balance, but also lead to significant economic turbulence.

Global economic dynamics are evolving, and the hegemony of the US dollar seems to be wavering. Two influential members of the BRICS alliance, Russia and Iran, have just announced a major change: a complete abandonment of the dollar for their trade exchanges. While this decision reflects a desire for economic sovereignty in the face of external pressures, it could also pave the way for a profound upheaval of international financial balances.

Analyzing this Russian strategy, which combines pragmatism with the exploration of new economic options, helps to better understand the current issues and the prospects for a new international financial balance.

The dominance of the dollar as the benchmark currency in international exchanges is today more questioned than ever. As geopolitical tensions and American economic sanctions multiply, several emerging powers are organizing to reduce their dependence on the greenback. It is in this context that Sergey LAVROV, the Russian Foreign Minister, and Donald TRUMP, the former President of the United States, find common ground in their criticisms of current policies. According to them, the systematic use of the dollar as a sanction tool undermines not only the American economy but also the position of the dollar on the international stage.

Today, a new milestone has been reached: for the first time in decades, the dollar's share of global reserves has fallen below 60%.
