ArmInfo. International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva on Monday called the dollar's weakening in 2025 temporary and stated that it will maintain its status as the world's key reserve currency for the foreseeable future.
"We shouldn't overreact to short-term exchange rate fluctuations... I don't see any change in the dollar's role in the foreseeable future," Bloomberg reported Georgieva as saying.
At the same time, the IMF chief emphasized that people should take a closer look at why the dollar occupies a central place in the international financial system, noting the depth and liquidity of U.S. capital markets, the size of the U.S. economy, and the country's entrepreneurial spirit.
Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump said he wasn't concerned about the dollar's weakness, emphasizing that its decline could be beneficial for the American economy and exports.
During the second Trump administration, the dollar depreciated by nearly 3%, according to U.S. statistical agencies. At the same time, according to Bloomberg calculations, the dollar index fell by 8.1% last year - the most since 2017.
