African Countries Ready to Drop The Dollar. The US dollar is the world's reserve currency, meaning that it is the most widely used currency in international trade and finance. However, several African countries are considering dropping the dollar in favor of their own currencies or regional currencies. African countries are now more willing to take steps to free themselves from American influence by strengthening their national currencies or developing new currencies that would be utilized for intra-continental commerce as a result of the US dollar's declining significance in international trade. So, in this video, we are going to be telling you why African countries are dropping the dollar and some particular people fighting for this to be implemented. Let’s begin! President William Ruto of Kenya is quickly gaining a lot of fans after he has been speaking against the US dollar on several occasions.
