The 1973 oil crisis further fixed the value of the dollar as a result of this oil shock, bringing Saudi Arabia and the OPEC countries to make a secret agreement with Washington….. This agreement provided that in exchange for Washington's political and military protection, the OPEC countries would be required to sell oil only in dollars. The petrodollar was thus born, being a replacement for the gold-linked standard that existed prior to Nixon. Once this system was supported by OPEC members, the global demand for US petrodollars hit an all-time high.

The video below explains that Saudi Arabia's agreement to sell oil exclusively in dollars ended on June 9, 2024 – ending the backing for the petrodollar as the world's reserve currency. The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia has decided to open up its lucrative oil trade to other countries and currencies. Saudi Arabia has now joined a China-led digital currency project.

The video explains that the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) nations have announced a new BRICS payment system as the World Bank challenged the status of the US dollar in international transactions.  Saudi Arabia is considering a full BRICS membership this year.
