My wonder now is the 'how' the BRICS currency system will be backed. Obviously local curriencies are being used to not centralize and dodge the dollar. There is news as well that they would be working on a payment system that is not SWIFT to 'strength exchange in local currencies'. They are definitely looking into something digital to bypass US markets. Perhaps it is a digital gold exchange system? Who knows.
At least it looks like they want infrastructure/further US weakness before they put up a full asset backed system.
So having listened and read more I am not hearing anything on an asset backed currency system having been announced. Though obviously things will gain more traction with oil cornered. However, my thoughts are now that they are going to look at creating/using msrket tooks for alt markets to be made first. My guess being each of these first nations currently let in in addition to BRICS will get these tools to be the centers of trade for their regions on their continents
BRICS boys having lunch. BRICS+ Is a thing officially now. The suez is essentially via land under control/influence. Largest Oil producers of Middle East are in BRICS, Iran w/ their military and market tech is joining officially. As of now they have key players joined. I will slepe before I report more certain news. Very good developments though.
@zebuceta They at least seem to have their goal set out. The issue being though is their time line for us internally across the pond, but at least their plan sounds like to soviet union the US. Isolate andnlet fail in their ideal outcome. Plus too it was confirmed that Russia's holding like 4 different larger events next year for economics and is hosting the BRICS meeting. Too there was some positive talk about a common currency, but will not be launched until more members are confirmed.
@zebuceta ..to announce a new Gold System and BRICS+ as a formality. Lots of talk of BRICS+ pretty much being in full agreement today. TONS of Talk on Ukraine War being the justification for establishing all this with the NDB (New Development Bank) of BRICS. Also extrapolation of the 'North South Corridor' infrastructure projects and more over some SCO exchange systems within the partnership
@zebuceta It was coming immediately after he talked about the failings of the Bretton Woods Institutions and followed up with this continuing trend of 'Supporting National Currencies' by the 'Global South'. I do hope they're just building their case and rhetorical foundation for tomorrow's meeting to simply conclude with their talks behind closed doors..
BRICS+ Openly confirmed to be 'discussed' essentially just sounds like a formality. This will be all active applicants.
@Tfmonkey Do you think they can pull another lockdown? I think they may try, but they have no room for error if they do. If they do it (Assuming BRICS is somewhat coherent) they could get slapped with an embargo at the moment they do and things would get ugly. Who knows perhaps andeal was made as well.
