Nonetheless, Macklem says that the greenback will likely continue to be the world's reserve currency due to a lack of alternatives. No explanation is given in the article about why the euro or the yuan couldn't replace the dollar in that role; perhaps it's as much a matter of nobody wanting to make the first move as anything.
