Brussels is to set out plans to increase the use of the euro in “strategic sectors” such as energy, commodities and aircraft manufacturing, in a bid to challenge the dominance of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
The European Commission will on Wednesday publish a blueprint to promote a “stronger international role” for the euro, saying policies pursued by Donald Trump have underlined the need to increase the EU’s economic sovereignty.
