India’s central bank fancied a little digital déjà vu – linking BRICS currencies for cross-border payments. Because who doesn’t want international money transfers to be as complicated as assembling IKEA furniture?
The Reserve Bank of India reportedly suggested that this shiny new idea head to the 2026 BRICS summit fashionably hosted in India. The goal? Making trade and tourism payments among Brazil, Russia, China, South Africa, and India smoother than a Bollywood dance number. Or at least that’s the plan.
They’re talking about interoperable technology, governance rules, and settlement mechanisms like bilateral foreign-exchange swaps-basically, the financial equivalent of trying to get everyone at the dinner table to agree on a menu. The hope? Less dependence on the U.S. dollar-because who wants Uncle Sam to hold all the purse strings? But fear not, it’s not about kicking out the dollar-just, you know, making friends and reducing its monopoly. Everything’s subject to member agreement, jurisdictional sensitivities, and probably a few awkward meetings over coffee.
