The US greenback’s share of global currency reserves hit a three-decade low at the end of the third quarter, according to Sputnik’s analysis of International Monetary Fund (IMF) data. The decline in the American currency’s share of allocated foreign reserves of central banks and governments has continued for the second quarter in succession, losing 0.85 percentage points in July-September, and 1.8 percentage points over the year as financial flows continue the trend of dedollarization. US dollar holdings in allocated reserves decreased to 57.39% in the third quarter of 2024, the lowest since 1995. Central banks are increasingly leaning towards diversification, as the euro's share rose to 20.02%, while the yen increased to 5.5% during the same period. Why IS US Dollar Losing Luster? The shift out of dollar reserves has been driven by concerns over weaponized US sanctions. Another contributing factor has been the US federal government’s debt burden, which surpassed the $36 trillion mark amid feckless money-printing by the Federal Reserve. Geopolitical tensions and fiscally irresponsible military expenditures, such as dollars being poured to NATO's proxy war in Ukraine, continue to shape global dynamics. The 16th Summit of the newly expanded BRICS bloc this year highlighted a consensus among its members on the necessity of increasing the use of national currencies in trade, signaling a potential decline in the dollar's dominance that may fade irreversibly into history.

US Dollar's Share in Global Reserves Plunges to 30-Year Low
The US dollar’s “weaponization” against countries like Russia and Iran has increasingly fueled the declining luster of the American currency. Nations, particularly in emerging markets, are turning to currencies outside the US sphere of political and economic influence, with international institutions like the BRICS bloc promoting this trend.
The US greenback’s share of global currency reserves hit a three-decade low at the end of the third quarter, according to Sputnik’s analysis of International Monetary Fund (IMF) data.
The decline in the American currency’s share of allocated foreign reserves of central banks and governments has continued for the second quarter in succession, losing
0.85 percentage points in July-September, and
1.8 percentage points over the year as financial flows continue the trend of
dedollarization.
US dollar holdings in allocated reserves decreased to 57.39% in the third quarter of 2024, the lowest since 1995.
Central banks are increasingly leaning towards diversification, as the euro's share rose to 20.02%, while the yen increased to 5.5% during the same period.
Why IS US Dollar Losing Luster?
The shift out of dollar reserves has been driven by concerns over weaponized US sanctions.
Another contributing factor has been the US federal government’s
debt burden, which surpassed the $36 trillion mark amid feckless money-printing by the Federal Reserve.
Geopolitical tensions and fiscally irresponsible military expenditures, such as dollars being poured to NATO's proxy war in Ukraine, continue to shape global dynamics.
The 16th Summit of the newly expanded BRICS bloc this year highlighted a consensus among its members on the necessity of increasing the
use of national currencies in trade, signaling a potential decline in the dollar's dominance that may fade irreversibly into history.
