Roughly analagous to Eurodollars, although it is not clear how much if any of the central bank reserves are actually captured here in these reports by BIS reporting commercial banks, especially in China and the non-European countries. Certainly the NY Fed Custodial Accounts for Foreign Central Banks show no decline whatsoever from the long term trend of accumulation to support their mercantilism and currency pegs.
But the takeway from this chart is that a long term trend of dollar accumulation was broken, and rather painfully, in the deflating of the Wall Street financial assets fraud.
One might not expect the Europeans and Asians to accept new financial instruments in dollars quite so readily. The US seems intent on maintaining a few mega-banks to serve as "competitive" instruments of national policy on the world financial stage.
They may find that maintaining the banks and their particular weapons of financial mass destruction may be just as costly as 700 military bases in diverse locations. Such are the burdens of empire.
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. And the name of the lawless one will be revealed. Not everyone who calls to me saying, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the ones who do the will of my Father. Many will say, ‘Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?’ Then I will declare to them solemnly, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you servants of lawlessness.'
Matthew 7:21-23
