the pace of dedollarisation recently is making me extremely hopeful

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 21 points 6 months ago

It's a self reinforcing phenomenon. The more countries free themselves of the dollar, the easier it becomes other countries to do so going forward. Now that BRICS is a bigger economy than the G7, the economic incentives favor it for countries that are forced t chose between these economic blocs.

This article seems to imply that this would be just another currency, but I suspect it’s a Bancor-like unit of account for international balance of payments, and not a currency for everyday transactions.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 19 points 6 months ago

Yeah, that's the impression I get as well. That seems like the most likely scenario to me because I don't think any BRICS countries would want to have a single country's currency replace the USD. Having a Bancor style currency that's used strictly for settlement and not owned by any country is a much more palatable solution. Especially given the tensions China and India have.

i would hope that, having seen what the euro is like, no sane country would ever choose to voluntarily hamstring itself again by giving up control of their currency
