On the occasion of the BRICS Business Forum, the nations of this emerging alliance unveiled their brand new cross-border payment system: BRICS Pay. This initiative represents a clear intent to reduce dependence on the US dollar, a currency still predominant in global transactions. As the BRICS seek to emancipate themselves from the financial influence of the United States, the creation of an autonomous payment system could very well redefine the rules of international trade.
The BRICS summit chaired by Russia is approaching rapidly. Here is everything you need to know before this major geopolitical event.
The upcoming BRICS summit, which will take place in Kazan, Russia from October 22 to 24, appears to be a key milestone in the ongoing international reshaping. By bringing together several rising powers and strategic partners at the same table, this summit aims to strengthen the bloc's influence on global economic, political, and diplomatic issues. The presence of Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, at the heart of these discussions is a strong sign of recognition of the growing importance of the BRICS. More than just a diplomatic trip, his participation reflects a desire for openness and the integration of this group into global governance.
The world is undergoing a geopolitical reshaping. While tensions between major powers shape international relations, economic alliances are evolving at an unprecedented speed. At the heart of this new global order, BRICS, the bloc of major emerging economies, is asserting itself as a key player capable of reshaping global balances. This group, once reserved for five members, has recently opened up to new candidates, adding giants like Iran and Saudi Arabia to its ranks. It is in this context that Turkey, under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, seeks to join this influential alliance. A strategic decision that comes at a time when the prospects of EU membership are fading, prompting Ankara to diversify its economic and geopolitical partnerships. However, this candidacy is not universally accepted: BRICS, still in the consolidation phase after its last expansion, may slow down before making new decisions. This is despite the growing interest of about twenty nations to join the group.

The global financial system is currently undergoing numerous changes. As economic sanctions multiply, particularly from the United States and the European Union, many emerging economies are seeking alternatives to free themselves from the dominance of the dollar and the euro. In response, the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) have begun the creation of an alternative payment platform. This initiative, confirmed by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey LAVROV, would facilitate trade and investments without relying on Western currencies.
The global monetary landscape is undergoing significant changes. As the influence of the US dollar falters under the weight of geopolitical tensions and aggressive economic policies, the BRICS are poised to redefine the rules of the game. They are working to launch a new reserve currency, an ambitious project that could shake the supremacy of the greenback and reshuffle the cards of international finance. In the face of the impact of economic sanctions, trade wars, and a perceived excessive dependence on the dollar, these emerging powers are coming together to assert their economic sovereignty. However, this new currency, envisioned as a direct alternative to the US-dominated financial system, raises as many hopes as it does doubts.
