Russia Proposes SWIFT-like System for BRICS

Russia is advocating for BRICS countries to develop their own financial messaging system, similar to SWIFT, to reduce reliance on Western institutions and boost financial autonomy.
Deputy Chairman Alexander Babakov stated this system would allow secure, independent transactions via state-owned banks, support African development, and reduce neocolonial influences.
Integrating with national infrastructures and using advanced cybersecurity, the system would lower transaction costs, speed up capital turnover, and improve liquidity, benefiting international trade.
"The creation of a financial messaging system similar to SWIFT will help create a new economic reality for the BRICS countries," Babakov said.
