El dólar como divisa de reserva cae a su nivel más bajo en décadas

The global trend shows a gradual decline in the share of the US dollar as the dominant reserve currency, while other assets such as gold and the Chinese yuan are gaining ground. This shift does not represent an immediate collapse, but rather a geopolitical reconfiguration in which economic fragmentation and the risk of sanctions are driving several central banks to diversify their portfolios away from traditional Western currencies. Although popular narratives attribute this displacement primarily to powers such as China or Russia, the International Monetary Fund and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York clarify that the decline is led by a select group of countries seeking to protect themselves from political uncertainty and the possibility of asset freezes. Gold emerges as a safe haven against these risks, while the yuan advances cautiously, demonstrating that the dollarization of the financial system is neither irreversible nor disappearing abruptly. This evolution is crucial for the field of *open data* because it underscores the need to monitor, analyze, and visualize public financial flows in real time. Since data on international reserves is key information for understanding global economic stability, transparent access to it enables researchers and citizens to assess how geopolitical decisions affect the world’s monetary structure, fostering greater transparency in central bank policies.
