Check out major takeaways from Dedollarization panel at SPIEF 2023 today:
Dedollarization is a national security priority because of the US decision to “weaponize” the dollar for geopolitical purposes;
The Ukraine conflict has accelerated Russia’s dedollarization process;
The dollar’s status will continue to erode to the “systemic crisis” of US hegemony and de-globalization — nations are moving towards regionalization of trade & localization of production;
Russia is exploring the creation of a stable coin pegged to gold or some other natural resources; there is also growing interest in blockchain technologies to develop an alternative to the SWIFT payment system;
BRICS currency could threaten the dollar if the grouping's members decide to link their bond markets; a potential breakthrough is expected at the summit in August.
