“ Notably, the share of the U.S. dollar as a global reserve currency has declined from 71.5% in 2000 to 58.2% in 2024, signalling a potential shift toward a more multipolar currency framework.”
I didn’t realize it had gotten this low.
The funny thing though is that no currency from BRICS and group has increased against USD. INR has been falling, Yuan has been rather less falling. Ruble has been falling.

What are they settling trade in other than USD? Euro?

That's the fun. Almost 90% of their trades are settled in USD and the agenda of recent BRICS meetings held it unanimously that they need a different currency for BRICS but I doubt they'd ever have it.

Dramatic decline. Dedollarization is proceeding rather swiftly.

I'm doubtful about it. IMO Dollar will remain the king at least till mid century.
