The BRICS Plan for a New Financial Architecture

The growing importance of BRICS financial institutions indicates a gradual democ­ratisation of the global financial land­scape, where multiple currencies can be used, and countries’ strategic reserves can shift location and holding pattern, thereby providing a material basis to multipolarity.

The BRICS difference can be read as decolonised multilateralism with intent and behaviour as an interdependent, plural grouping, committed to development linked to the global South.

The Kazan meeting was attended by United Nations (UN) Secretary General António Guterres and heads of the BRICS states, including new and aspiring members making it BRICS+.
