The U.S. dollar’s share in global payments has reached nearly 50%, marking its highest level in over 12 years, according to data from Macrobond.
This resurgence underscores the greenback’s enduring dominance in international finance, despite ongoing discussions about de-dollarization efforts.
In January 2025, the dollar accounted for 50.2% of global transactions processed through the SWIFT network, up from 49.1% the previous month. This increase represents the highest proportion since SWIFT revised its data collection methods in mid-2023.
The euro, once a strong contender, has seen its share decline to approximately 20%, while the Chinese yuan’s growth has plateaued.
Despite initiatives like China’s Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS), the yuan’s global payment share remains modest, highlighting the dollar’s entrenched position. Bank
Analysts attribute the dollar’s sustained dominance to its deep liquidity, widespread acceptance, and the absence of a comparable alternative.
Even amid geopolitical tensions and efforts by some nations to diversify away from the dollar, its role as the primary currency for global trade and finance remains unchallenged.’
