Abstract

This research paper explores the global trend of de-dollarization, where nations and organizations reduce their reliance on the U.S. dollar as the primary reserve currency. The global financial landscape has long been dominated by the United States dollar, with its status as the world's primary reserve currency. However, in recent years, an increasing number of nations and international organizations have initiated efforts to reduce their reliance on the dollar, a phenomenon known as de-dollarization. It covers the historical context of dollar dominance, reasons for de-dollarization, and strategies employed, including alternative currencies and digital payment systems. Ultimately, this research paper offers valuable insights into the evolving landscape of international finance and sheds light on the potential consequences of efforts to break the dollar's hegemony,understanding of the changing dynamics of the global monetary system.
