Brazil Plans To Reject BRICS Currency
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Brazil is set to reject the proposal for a BRICS common currency as it prepares to host the 17th BRICS summit in July 2025. Four government officials told Reuters that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will oppose the idea. The decision comes amid rising pressure from the United States. President Donald Trump has warned of economic retaliation against countries attempting to abandon the US dollar.

India and Brazil Oppose BRICS Currency

Brazil is not the only member to distance itself from the BRICS currency initiative. India has also rejected the idea, reaffirming its commitment to the US dollar for global trade. This division exposes fractures within the alliance. While Russia, China, and Iran push for de-dollarization, other members are hesitant. India fears China may use BRICS to expand its influence, while Brazil is focused on economic stability.

Brazil Seeks to Reduce Dependence on the US Dollar

Although Brazil rejects the BRICS currency, it remains committed to reducing its reliance on the US dollar. Officials say Brazil will present alternatives at the upcoming summit. The government aims to diversify its trade partnerships without adopting a new common currency. Brazil’s approach reflects its efforts to balance economic independence with geopolitical stability.

US Pressure and Economic Ramifications

The US has strongly opposed BRICS efforts to create an alternative currency. Trump has threatened tariffs and economic measures against nations that challenge the dollar’s dominance. This pressure has influenced Brazil and India’s decisions. While Russia and Iran advocate for de-dollarization due to sanctions, other BRICS members fear economic repercussions from the US.

China’s Push for the Yuan in Global Trade

China remains a key advocate for de-dollarization. Beijing is promoting the yuan for international trade and financial transactions. However, some BRICS members view this move with skepticism. India worries China may use BRICS to advance its economic ambitions. This divide weakens the bloc’s efforts to present a united front on global financial policies.

The Future of BRICS Economic Strategy

The rejection of a common currency highlights strategic differences within BRICS. The alliance faces challenges in aligning economic policies among its members. While some nations push for financial independence from the US, others prioritize stability. Brazil’s decision signals a cautious approach to economic reforms. The upcoming summit in Rio de Janeiro will test BRICS’ ability to navigate these divisions and establish a clear economic path forward.
