Prajol Joshi on Unpacking De-Dollarization: Trends, Issues, and Implications
Q: Do you see the dominance of the dollar dwindling or continuing in the next few decades?
De-dollarization won't happen soon; the dollar will remain dominant, but its share will decline while alternatives slowly evolve.
Prajol Joshi on Unpacking De-Dollarization: Trends, Issues, and Implications
Q: What are the implications of de-dollarization for Nepal?
For Nepal, de-dollarization may reduce transaction costs in trade with India and diversify currency reserves, but it poses challenges due to its small economy.
Prajol Joshi on Unpacking De-Dollarization: Trends, Issues, and Implications
Q: Why would countries want to de-dollarize?
Countries may want to de-dollarize to reduce reliance on the US dollar, protect their economies from US sanctions, and stabilize their trade with alternatives.
Prajol Joshi on Unpacking De-Dollarization: Trends, Issues, and Implications
Q: How did the US dollar come into dominance historically?
The dollar became dominant due to the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1944, which established the dollar tied to gold and made it the world's reserve currency.
Sagar Prasai on Small States in the New World Disorder
Q: What does this mean for smaller states like Nepal?
Prasai emphasizes that smaller nations need to enhance their diplomatic strategies and take greater ownership of their future amidst rising uncertainties.
