The US dollar’s position as the world’s reserve currency is eroding over time, according to both outlets, even though the shift is described as gradual rather than abrupt. The trend is portrayed as unfolding across decades, with different periods seeing faster change depending on US actions and global policy dynamics.
Both sources link the erosion to US policy decisions that can, at times, accelerate de-dollarisation. One outlet points to historical US actions tied to the mid-20th century monetary framework and suggests that surprises in policy implementation have occasionally increased momentum for diversification away from the dollar. The other focuses on the idea that while “rash” or sudden actions can speed up the process, the overall impact is not as large as some commentators expect.
Overall, the outlets agree on the direction of change and the presence of acceleration at certain moments, but they differ in emphasis: one stresses longer historical and policy context, while the other focuses on how much acceleration actually occurs compared with expectations.
