flag The dollar's share of global reserves dropped to a 30-year low in Q2 2025 due to currency losses and efforts to reduce dollar dependence.

flag The U.S. dollar's share of global foreign exchange reserves fell to 56.3% in Q2 2025, the lowest since 1995, according to the IMF. flag The decline, driven mainly by exchange-rate losses—9% against the euro, 11% vs. the Swiss franc, and 6% vs. the pound—was largely due to valuation effects from Trump-era tariffs, Fed rate pressure, and July tax changes. flag About 92% of the drop stemmed from currency fluctuations, not central bank sales. flag Total global reserves reached $12.03 trillion. flag The dollar’s weakening, its worst first half since 1973, reflects growing global efforts by nations like Russia and BRICS members to reduce dollar dependence amid sanctions and financial weaponization concerns.
