Abstract

ABSTRACT For several years, the U.S. dollar has been the world’s primary reserve currency. In recent years, it has been shrinking as the leading percentage of the world’s currency supply. The U.S. dollar has recently reached parity with the Canadian dollar, and against the dollar, the euro has been able to constantly outperform. Though the American dollar remains the top currency, several studies have shown that other countries are increasingly willing to use other currencies; which has brought into question the future of the currency as a global leader. Keywords currency, dollar, reserve currency
