The former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kenneth Rogoff, stated that the dollar is expected to see a minimum decline of 5% to 10% in the coming years, challenging the dominance that the currency has maintained for decades. The statements were made during the Itaú BBA event in São Paulo and caught the attention of the international market.

According to InfoMoney, Rogoff highlighted that although the United States is at the forefront of artificial intelligence, this will not be enough to keep the currency valued.

For him, the dollar is currently well above its real purchasing power, which reinforces the trend of devaluation.

Still according to InfoMoney, the economist attributed part of this movement to the policies adopted by the Donald Trump administration, which replaced soft power with direct economic force.

In Rogoff’s view, the strategy has been implemented aggressively and has accelerated transformations that were already occurring in the global financial system.

He recalled that the dollar was placed on a “pedestal” after World War II, but since the 1970s it has lost ground as a reserve currency.

The rise of the euro, Asian currencies, and the growth of cryptocurrencies indicate a more multipolar future, in which countries will not rely exclusively on the American currency to conduct business.

Cryptocurrencies and Stablecoins on the Rise

For Rogoff, one of the clearest signs of this new scenario is the growth of cryptocurrencies and, especially, stablecoins, digital currencies pegged to stable assets like the dollar.

These tools are already said to represent over 20% of the global economy, according to estimates cited by him, and could even replace traditional debit and credit cards.

The economist warns, however, that this advance brings risks of oversight, as the lack of effective auditing could open doors to tax evasion and regulatory weaknesses.

Path to a Multipolar System

Rogoff argues that emerging countries, such as Brazil, India, and China, should seize the opportunity to strengthen their own digital platforms and reduce dependence on the dollar.

According to him, artificial intelligence is expected to accelerate the diversification of currencies in international trade, giving more relevance to different economic centers.

Experts say Rogoff’s warning reinforces a long-term change in the global monetary system.

The central question now is whether the United States will manage to adapt its economic strategy to preserve the influence of the dollar, or if the global market will definitively move towards a multipolar balance.

Rogoff’s forecast opens the floor for an intense debate: Will the dollar continue to be the pillar of the global economy, or will it give way to a network of currencies and digital assets sharing prominence?

And you, do you believe that the minimum decline of 5% to 10% in the dollar will really happen and change the global balance? Or does the market still rely too much on the American currency?

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

Using high-resolution satellite images, archaeologists rediscovered the Egyptian city of Imet, buried for centuries in the Nile Delta, revealing rare multi-story houses, granaries, and a sacred road linked to the cobra goddess Wadjet, from about 2,400 years ago.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

Brazil delivers a giant dam worth R$ 365.7 million in Rio Grande do Sul, capable of forming an artificial lake with 138 million m³ of water, equivalent to 55,300 Olympic swimming pools and an area larger than 2,500 football fields.

African country mobilizes students, public servants, and religious communities in a giant task force, plants 350 million trees in just 12 hours, surpasses world record, and now aims for 50 billion seedlings by 2026 to restore forests that have shrunk from 35% to just 4% of the territory.

Now it’s a reality: researchers at Unicamp develop AI capable of identifying anxiety with 80% accuracy directly on a smartwatch, paving the way for continuous mental health monitoring with low energy consumption.

Fish farming becomes the new giant of Brazilian agribusiness and transforms tilapia into the “water ox,” in a chain that already moves R$ 11 billion per year and exceeds 1 million tons produced.
