Growing Disparity With USD

In fact, Lula’s vision of trading in currencies other than the US dollar appears to be within reach. In April, he expressed his support for the creation of a new currency specifically for trade between BRICS countries. Moreover, according to recent reports, the BRICS nations have been actively exploring the possibility of developing such a currency, marking a significant shift away from the US dollar-dominated international financial system.

Countries like China, Russia, and Iran have drastically reduced their reliance on the US currency in recent months. To reduce risks related to the dollar’s falling value, these countries are diversifying their foreign exchange reserves and looking into utilizing their regional or a stronger currency like China’s Yuan as means of payment.

President Lula’s “dream of a trading currency other than dollar” promises to be a significant milestone in determining the nation’s future direction. As the countries consider creating a new currency for intra-trade and commerce, the BRICS nations could potentially challenge the prevailing dominance of the US dollar, thereby reshaping the global financial order.
