De-dollarization is a term that is given to the situation wherein countries across the globe start reducing the dominance of the US dollar as their only option for international trading, mode of exchange, and as a universal unit. Many years back during the times of World War-1, the sterling pound was the mode of currency that was used across the globe as a standard unit of measurement. As the war came to an end, the US dollar started displacing the sterling pound and gradually became the primary mode of currency. Since then, till now, the US dollar has been the widely used primary mode of currency, which is now losing its value as other countries are trying to go for other alternatives.
