Moment of the euro? Perceptions of US dollar decline

Hendrik Hegemann and Volker Wieland

No 225, IMFS Working Paper Series from Goethe University Frankfurt, Institute for Monetary and Financial Stability (IMFS)

Abstract: This study reviews new perceptions of an imminent decline of the international role of the US dollar and implications for the euro. It considers developments in international reserves, invoicing, debt and payment systems. Strengths and weaknesses of the US and euro area economies are discussed along with new policy initiatives and proposals. The study concludes that a quick decline of the US dollar or a shift towards a multipolar currency system with similarly important reserve currencies is highly unlikely. For the foreseeable future, the euro's role is likely to remain one of primarily regional importance. This document was provided by the Economic Governance and EMU Scrutiny Unit at the request of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) ahead of the Monetary Dialogue with the ECB President on 6 October 2025.
