Putin proposes new payment system for BRICS to reduce U.S. dollar reliance

thehindu.com October 19, 2024, 05:01 PM UTC

Summary: Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed that the BRICS group explore a new payment system similar to SWIFT to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar. He emphasized using national digital currencies for investment projects and mentioned ongoing discussions with member countries.

Ahead of the upcoming BRICS summit in Kazan, Putin stated that a common BRICS currency is not currently feasible. He highlighted the need for careful planning and the establishment of secure financial tools among member states to facilitate transactions.

The BRICS bloc, now expanded to include five new members, aims to strengthen economic ties and reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar. While some members pursue de-dollarization, India has clarified its intention to continue using the dollar in international trade.
