Fed's Rate Hikes Propel Global Shift Away from U.S. Dollar, Says Atlantic Council The Atlantic Council has identified the Federal Reserve’s rate hikes as a key driver behind the growing trend of de-dollarization globally. The Fed’s rate increases, coinciding with the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, have made dollar borrowing costlier and less accessible. This change has encouraged emerging market firms to explore alternatives like the Chinese Yuan (RMB). The think tank also acknowledges the geopolitical elements in play, particularly the Western sanctions against Russia, which have frozen Moscow’s currency reserves and restricted its access to the global financial system, further accelerating the move away from the U.S. dollar. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Oil Prices Climb as Market Optimism Grows Amid Tightening Supply Signals READ MORE Record Start to 2024: Companies Ramp Up Share Repurchases READ MORE Economic Confidence at Odds: Strong Indicators vs. American Pessimism READ MORE Cash-Strapped Pakistan to Introduce New Series of Currency Notes READ MORE Market Predictions Shift: Fed Rate Cut Now Seen as June Event READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
