De-dollarization is no longer a matter of if, but when — and is a national security concern, says International Crisis Group cochair

• De-dollarization is no longer a matter of if, but when, said International Crisis Group cochair Frank Giustra.
• A sudden drop in dollar demand could lead to hyperinflation and a debt crisis, he said.
• "In short, any US administration would ultimately consider any such de-dollarization moves to be matters of national security."

De-dollarization now looks inevitable and threatens to become a national security concern, according to International Crisis Group co-chair Frank Giustra.
