The future of BRICS | Global Eyes

Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) have just concluded their 15th summit in Johannesburg. What began as an investment tag line from Goldman Sachs has grown into an alternative power center in a changing world. Could BRICS become a pro-China club? Will India block expansion? Is BRICS the best way to bring about greater equity in the global financial order? How will the West respond? These are just a few of the questions Global Eyes examines. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said in the run-up to the summit that some 40 countries were seeking to join the group that says it wants to change the global financial order established by the West in the wake of World War Two and run by Western-dominated organizations such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund ever since. Global Eyes hosts Isha Bhatia Sanan and William Glucroft sat down with Sushant Singh, a senior fellow at the Delhi-based Centre for Policy Research (CPR) and Professor Daniel Bradlow of the University of Pretoria’s Centre for the Advancement of Scholarship to examine the future of the organization, including the possible membership of Iran, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Argentina, to name just a few of the countries reportedly seeking to join the group.

#BRICS

[@nicolasbenson009]

BRICS is considering the creation of a fresh currency. It's important to recognize that historically, gold has served as a store of value and a medium of exchange, with some nations maintaining substantial gold reserves. Nevertheless, the operational mechanics and potential global adoption of a currency backed by gold within the current financial system remain uncertain. Ultimately, any decision regarding the establishment of a new currency would involve a multitude of economic, political, and logistical factors to consider.

[@bernadofelix]

Investing in gold is a reliable choice, and I plan to keep buying more to make up for my losses. While silver is also a good investment, my collectibles are not as similar. It's important to have clear investment goals and educate yourself on the type of investment that interests you. I work with ‘’ Margaret Johnson Arndt’’ a financial consultant regulated by the SEC, and started small, but eventually accumulated almost $820K.

[@bernadofelix]

[@dylanmoris6211]

It's interesting to learn more about the discussions and proposals around BRICS nations and their potential use of gold. There are several reasons why people may choose to buy gold, including its historical use as a store of value and means of exchange, its potential as a hedge against inflation or currency devaluation, and its relative scarcity compared to other commodities.

[@williamsbrown4026]

Additionally, gold can offer diversification benefits to investment portfolios, as it tends to have a low correlation with other asset classes like stocks and bonds. However, it's important to note that investing in gold carries risks and may not be suitable for evervone. and investors should carefully consider their investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation before making any decisions

[@LionTowercoporation]

However, it is unclear how a new currency backed by gold would function in the current global financial system and whether it would gain widespread acceptance. Ultimately, any decision to create a new currency would be subject to numerous economic, political, and logistical considerations.

Does it, though? I don't see how the US supporting Israel deprives it of all moral standing. Arguing that Israel is bad and that the US shouldn't support it doesn't equate to having no moral authority.

[@kentsmith6723]

On the question of what is BRICS, what holds it together?, it struck me that the answers were 'dancing around' the negative reason: U.S. and European hegemony and grip on global affairs. I mean to say that the BRICS members and applicants see together the potential of getting out from the grip and working on their own terms together, and perhaps doing a better, learned job of working together. Escape from the U.S. sanctions regime.

They're called 'talking animals,' as they were treated as such, and tortured in dungeons. Tibet in China today is no longer a medieval feudalism. No more slavery.

The BRICS nations want to trade with each other without using dollars. And it makes sense, why should they use an outside currency for trade between each other? The problem they have is that the dollar as a Reserve Currency works extremely well in all global financial transactions and has done so for the past eight decades. It's a political motivation, not an economic motivation. Right now trade works very well for everybody with the current system. The countries that are blaming the current system for their economic woes will find that those woes will only deepen if they throw a monkey wrench into world trade.

So, they want to tie themselves to a currency that is essentially controlled by China. No one, no country with any sense would willingly tie themselves to China or any country that has essentaly 1 person rule. All issues aside, the USA has very stable currency controls, As a rule, respecting contracts and international laws even when they may be inconvenient.

[@MSDGroup-ez6zk]

Dont make haox. BRICS has learnt from euro when Goldman Sachs attached European after Saddam & Gaddafi decision to use Euro rather than the USD. 4 European countries were almost collapsed including Italy and Germany. That's why BRICS doesnt want to use any currencies rather than their own local currencies. Meaning, the world trading will be really fair based on each country's ability not based on manipulated USD supported by the US alliances after looting other countries natural resources. Next step is cancelling the 16th century law - declaration of discovery that allow the USA stole a land in Syria and elected Guido, a Venezuelan master degree student who studied at Washington University, to lead Venezuela from Maduro just because Trump liked Venezuela oil.

[@GetFochD]

The decision of currency hasn't been made. Very stable, but if you do something they don't like they use it as a weapon. So if you want sovereignty from the west as former colonised country and want to escape the IMF debt traps(example Argentina) you start looking at options that don't force you to implement neoliberal policies.

It looks like BRICS will eventually become an exclusive club for countries that do not follow democracy and the rule of law, Human Rights, freedom of press and freedom of speech. India if still in the club will have a big task to convince Indians the advantages of being with the club. India has a very high young and educated population and very democratic.

Brics is not about meddling your country internal political affairs. It's about peace, trades, investment and prosperity among it's members. You can join G7 which has the power, freedom and democracy to demonise, sanction and bomb small countries at will.

34:00 I love how no one can give a good answer to the question "how does this improve the lives of people living in BRICS countries?" That's because it doesn't. Notice how BRICS (and BRICS-aspiring) countries are dictatorships and/or kleptocracies. Their leaders are not interested in improving the lives of their citizens. It's all about holding on to their ill-gotten gains; that's why they resent Western-led institutions that focus on democracy and transparency. The "multipolar world order" is really a euphemism for "return to the 19th century" with all its lawlessness and violence.

BRICS has come to stay, no matter the differences among the parties; unjustified war in Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan and present in Ukraine, and injustice in the world order are major concerns to many countries, especially in Asia and Africa. Europe needs to catch up in terms of youth workforce and lack of market. Asia and Africa are growing. They have all the resources; natural resources, human resources, and the market. With The BRICS, the table will change and say bye to neo-colonialism.
