On July 5, European Central Bank board member Makhlouf said that if the euro wants to quickly replace the dollar as the pillar of the global financial system, countries still have a long way to go, because there are still many gaps in financial and economic integration among European countries. Makhlouf said that the dominance of the dollar will weaken in the long run, but Europe currently lacks a single fiscal asset that is as stable as U.S. Treasuries and can compete with it. "Frankly speaking, Europe's economic system is not yet fully formed," Makhlouf said, adding that changes in currency exchange rates in recent months are more due to investors' concerns about the rule of law in the United States. Makhlouf said: "It would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that this will suddenly push the euro to replace the dollar, because the euro does not currently have such capabilities."
