S6: Will COVID-19 boost the euro as a global currency?

The euro is, by definition an international currency. However,
since being established in the late 90s the single currency has
always been somewhat less than the sum of it's parts and has yet
to challenge the US dollar for global dominance. Its
international status declined with the euro crisis of
2008. 

Could the reform of the institutional setup of the monetary union
that many are arguing for in the wake of the covid-19 crisis
boost the euro's status as a global currency?
