最新报道:ASEAN nations are increasingly avoiding the U.S. dollar in trade settlements, according to Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who cited concerns over Washington's sanctions policies. Speaking at the ASEAN summit, Anwar noted that member states are shifting toward local currency settlements to reduce dependence on the dollar. This move follows Malaysia's recent agreement with China to use the renminbi for bilateral trade. The trend reflects growing regional efforts to insulate economies from geopolitical risks and U.S. financial dominance. Anwar emphasized that ASEAN seeks greater monetary autonomy without completely abandoning the dollar-based system.
