Central Banks Shift Reserves: Reducing Dollar Holdings, Increasing Gold and AI Use
A recent OMFIF survey reveals that for the first time, more central banks plan to reduce their US dollar holdings over the next decade, driven by geopolitical risks and US policy uncertainties. Concurrently, gold has become a preferred hedge, with 82% of central banks holding physical gold and 30% intending to increase allocations. While the euro and Chinese renminbi remain favored alternatives, structural challenges limit their appeal. Additionally, central banks are increasingly adopting artificial intelligence to enhance decision-making.
