Euro emerging as dominant currency in international trade, reshaping global financial landscape.
The euro has become a major currency for trade within the Euro Area and the European Union, as well as with non-EU countries. The European Central Bank found that the euro's use in international debt securities increased to 31.5%, while its use in cross-border loans, deposits, and foreign exchange trading remained stable. The euro is also being used more in trade with regions near the Euro Area, like the 'euro time zone' and 'euro bloc'.
