What can damage the dollar? In the article, the heads of the Fed's International Finance Department stressed that the use of the US currency in the world has remained stable over the past 20 years. So far, its hegemony is safe, but in the long run, it is threatened not only by digital currencies, but also by the euro and the Chinese yuan.
“In sum, absent any large-scale political or economic changes <...> the dollar will likely remain the world's dominant international currency for the foreseeable future.” - experts concluded.
What statements were made earlier? In 2020, the Fed stated that the system is conducting research to start a digital dollar issue. In the spring of 2021, regulator’s chair Jerome Powell confirmed this information.
