The BRICS alliance was looking to create a new currency to challenge the U.S. dollar’s global reserve status. The bloc took a U-turn a month ahead of the summit and announced that the formation of a new currency will not be discussed in August.
BRICS member India was the first to indicate this month that it would not take part in the currency formation. Russia’s Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina also spoke about the BRICS currency saying its launch is not feasible at the moment.
