The World toward a multi-currency system

Nations like Russia and China are now leading the charge from a one-currency world to a multi-currency world of import payments.
Russia, for example, can take its energy profits and Rubles to purchase the currencies of friendly countries like China, India, and Turkey to rebuild its reserves outside of the USD.
The old world is slowly but surely turning irreversibly away from a USD-dominated currency system toward a multi-currency and multi-FX pricing model.

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.
