3 Economies Leading De-Dollarization
It seems that the global financial sector is onto the US dollar, leaving no stone unturned to derail its current stature. India, being one of the major global economies, has recently announced plans to strengthen its rupee. To do that, India’s Reserve Bank of India has issued an order to prioritize the rupee in global trade, facilitating seamless, faster rupee-based orders globally. This move underlined India’s decision to make INR a leading global player a narrative that challenges the US dollar’s prestige when considered in a broad spectrum narrative.
“Based on a review of the procedure involved in opening of the SRVA, it has been decided to do away with the need for seeking RBI approval for opening of SRVA. AD banks can now open SRVAs of correspondent banks without referring to the Reserve Bank of India,” the RBI said in an official release (Financial Times).
