BRICS Examining Currencies Other Than the US Dollar

Payment systems are changing as Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa work on developing a replacement that may remove the US dollar from international trade. In 2023, one-fifth of oil trades were conducted in non-dollar currencies, showing a shift in global financial dynamics. The possible change from the petrodollar could increase de-dollarization, leading to reduced global demand for the dollar.

Moreover, ongoing U.S. trade wars and sanctions, particularly with China and Russia, have pushed BRICS to explore independent financial systems . As part of these efforts, BRICS leaders are discussing blockchain technology and a possible digital payment platform to ensure economic independence.
