US Treasury Confronted on BRICS Trade Settlement News

US Treasury head Janet Yellen was confronted about the impact of the BRICS currency trade settlement system during her visit to China. The claim that 90% of international transactions involve the US dollar is misleading; the actual figure is closer to 43%. Factors like the rise of m-CBDC systems and increasing gold reserves in BRICS nations are likely to further reduce the demand for the fiat US dollar.
