💳 BRICS has drafted preliminary recommendations for alternative payment systems, Russian foreign minister says
"This was on the agenda of both our summit in Kazan and the meetings of our finance ministers and central bank heads that had taken place throughout the year. Recommendations have been drafted. They are not yet final, but they already make it possible to start creating reliable, sustainable, long-term systems. I am confident that Brazil, as the next chair [of BRICS], will continue this work," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with TV BRICS.
💲BRICS has set itself a task to create payment platforms that will be immune from risks connected with the US dollar, the top Russian diplomat added.
"Given that the US dollar is increasingly used as an aggressive weapon in the global economy, a parallel system is needed. No one knows who will be next. No one is safe from this arbitrariness, given the desperate position of the United States in today's world. They feel that their hegemony is slipping away, and it will be quick, but rather take a long time, so they want to use everything, including the most forbidden techniques, to preserve it," Lavrov said.
