BRICS’ Bold Move. From Local Currencies to a Unified BRICS Currency: Redefining Global Trade and Challenging the Dollar.

 

Key Points on BRICS De-Dollarization Efforts and CIS Trade Developments 

1. BRICS and CIS Trade in Local Currencies:


Russian President Vladimir Putin
announced that 85% of trade within the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) is now settled in local currencies, minimizing the use of the US dollar. This shift aims to increase financial autonomy among developing countries.

Although Russia is the only BRICS member within the CIS, it is actively promoting de-dollarization among neighboring countries, encouraging the use of national BRICS’ Bold Move. 

From Local Currencies to a Unified BRICS Currency
Redefining Global Trade and Challenging the Dollar.  in trade agreements.


2. BRICS’ Strategic Moves Against the Dollar:
At the 16th BRICS summit in Kazan, the alliance revealed a mock-up of a proposed BRICS currency, sometimes referred to as a "BRICS bill." This potential new currency is seen as a significant step towards challenging the US dollar’s status as the global reserve currency.

BRICS also expanded by adding 13 partner countries, though these are not full members, they are expected to increase trade and financial interactions within the BRICS framework, further reducing reliance on the US dollar.


3. Implications of De-Dollarization for the US Economy:
The shift away from the dollar poses risks for the US economy. A decrease in dollar demand could lead to economic deficits, inflation, and increased import costs for daily essentials in the United States. The dollar's reduced role internationally could destabilize the US economy, potentially leading to job losses and economic strain.

BRICS, alongside CIS nations, is accelerating this trend by encouraging other nations to adopt local currency-based transactions, creating a growing coalition for de-dollarization.


4. Strengthening Financial Sovereignty in BRICS and CIS:
Putin noted that BRICS and CIS members are not only de-dollarizing but also advancing technological sovereignty, making strides toward reducing reliance on Western imports and intellectual property.

This approach is part of a broader strategy to insulate BRICS economies from Western sanctions, fostering self-sufficiency and stability through independent financial and technological frameworks.


5. Potential Global Impact of a BRICS Currency:
If a BRICS currency is fully launched, it could significantly alter global financial dynamics by creating a new reserve currency that challenges the dollar and euro. This currency, facilitated by BRICS Pay, is designed to be used for international transactions within and beyond BRICS economies, gradually decreasing global dependence on the US dollar.


6. Conclusion:
BRICS is clearly positioning itself as a serious challenger to Western financial dominance. The strategic push to establish a BRICS currency, expand partnerships, and reduce dollar dependency represents a shift in global economic power.

She Stitched Wounds With Empty Hands—And Lost All Nine of Her Children

In Gaza, where the sun rises over ash and broken concrete, where lullabies are drowned by the sound of drones, lived a woman whose hands brought healing to children even as the world around her collapsed. Her name was Dr. Alaa — a pediatrician , a mother , a lifeline in the middle of hell. And she has become a symbol of both the highest form of love and the deepest human suffering. Nine children. All hers. All dead. Killed in a single Israeli airstrike. Not soldiers . Not fighters . Just children — tucked beneath blankets, seeking safety that never came. She was saving children in the hospital when her entire world was bombed out of existence. “ Mama, when will this end?” Her youngest had asked her this just days before the strike . He was five . He used to draw little suns on the wall with crayons , yellow and smiling — a child who believed light could still live here. One of the child of Dr. Alaa. Dr. Alaa hadn’t answered. Because she didn’t know. She hadn’t...

Shot While Starving: Gaza’s Desperate March Toward Death.

  "A Famine By Design: The Engineered Starvation and Killing Fields of Gaza" “It was like a battlefield full of blood and injured — everyone was lying on the ground, everyone screaming and everyone shouting.” — Jamal Azzam, nurse, Red Cross Hospital in Rafah On Tuesday morning, Israeli soldiers opened fire near a food distribution site in Rafah, southern Gaza, killing at least 27 Palestinians. It was the second such massacre in just three days . Only two days prior, 23 more were gunned down at the same location — a place that should have offered hope , not horror . The victims? Not militants . Not armed men. But starving civilians , many of them walking miles in the dark hoping to secure a single box of food . Their only crime was approaching aid, too hungry to wait. This is not war. This is calculated cruelty . 🔻 A System Designed to Fail — and to Kill The killings are the latest bloodshed under a new, deeply controversial food distribution system , jointly ...

When Two Lives Matter More Than Seventy – A Night of Massacres in Gaza

When Two Lives Matter More Than Seventy On the same night that the world’s media was awash with breaking news about the tragic killing of two foreign diplomats in Washington D.C. by an American citizen—a horrific incident that drew immediate outrage, blanket media coverage, and solemn condemnations from every major capital— something else happened . In Gaza, 70 Palestinians were killed . Seventy human beings. Mothers, fathers, babies in their mother’s arms, and children huddled in fear inside a school they believed would protect them. The Fahmi al-Jarjawi School in Gaza’s Al-Daraj neighborhood was struck by Israeli warplanes. At least 36 displaced people were massacred , their bodies pulled from under the rubble, their lives extinguished without a moment’s pause. And yet, as the world grieves two diplomats, it forgets seventy Palestinians in a single night. Mainstream outlets offered wall-to-wall coverage of the Washington incident: live updates, expert panels, somber editorials....

The Body Is Failing, and So Is Humanity: Gaza’s Final Cry.

  When Food Is No Longer Enough: Gaza’s Descent Into Clinical Starvation “We are reaching a point where children and adults won’t be saved with pallets of food dropped from planes.” — Jake Wood , humanitarian leader and former head of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation 🔥 Gaza Is Starving — And We’ve Let It Happen Gaza is not just facing hunger. It is collapsing into famine —and the world is watching in silence. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) , 100% of Gaza’s population is now at risk of famine . Every single man, woman, and child. This is not a statistic. It’s a death sentence delivered in slow motion. 🩸 Ketones in the Urine. Organs Shutting Down. Hope Evaporating. Children in Gaza are now excreting ketones —a biochemical scream from a starving body. It means they’ve burned through fat reserves. Their bodies are consuming themselves. You can’t fix that with a bag of flour. What they need now is clinica...
