The Dollar's Share of World Reserves Since 1999

US dollar share of allocated official foreign exchange reserves, %

56.7% in Q2 2026−7.3 pp since Q2 2016

Plays the chart through its history. Pauses are where the data set a record or moved most.

Source: IMF COFER, quarterly. Shares move with exchange rates as well as with central banks' choices: a weaker dollar lowers its share even if no reserves are sold.

The single number behind the "de-dollarization" debate, quarter by quarter since the euro was created.
