Summary by Geopolist | Istanbul Center for Geopolitics

This article from the Istituto Affari Internazionali examines the geopolitical implications of Western countries freezing Russia’s foreign currency reserves in response to its invasion of Ukraine. This action has prompted increased central bank gold purchases and a shift towards using the renminbi in trade. Future developments in Fintech and Central Bank Digital Currencies could further fragment the global financial system, challenging the dominance of the US dollar and setting precedents affecting central bank reserve sovereignty in a multipolar world.

In response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Western countries decided to freeze Russia’s foreign currency reserves and are now considering whether to use these reserves for supporting Ukraine. Markets and states have reacted to these measures in several ways. Central bank purchases of gold have reached levels not seen in the past 25 years. There has also been an acceleration in the use of the renminbi instead of western currencies as payment medium in trade. In the future Fintech developments could reduce the transparency of the global payment network and development of Central Bank Digital Currencies’ platforms could offer a local currency alternative to a dollar-based payments system. The measures taken today on sovereign immunity of central bank reserves could set an important precedent that will have implications for a future multipolar world.
