Indonesia, UAE, Argentina, Brazil, Iran, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, etc. While these countries are not actively 100% ditching the dollar right now the simple fact that they are starting to use alternatives speaks of a trend. And we still need to wait for the BRICS to release their plans on their currency, after which the process will accelerate more. It is not only 3 countries, and it is, in my opinion, not so important how much economic power they have, but rather that the strength of the dollar lies in its universal use.
