BRICS Finance Chiefs Urge Reform of Global Development Financial Institutions

BRICS officials urged a stronger voice for emerging economies and pressed for faster cross-border payment links and digital currency coordination.

  • On Thursday, BRICS finance ministers and central bank governors issued a joint statement calling for reform of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank to increase the voice of emerging market economies.
  • Ahead of the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi this weekend, the group emphasized that 'reform of global economic governance remains a consistent BRICS priority' given the growing share of emerging market economies in global output.
  • The finance chiefs expressed 'serious concerns' about unilateral trade measures and tariffs, which they argued distort global trade and are inconsistent with World Trade Organisation rules.
  • Encouraging the BRICS Payment Task Force to continue discussions, the statement urged practical solutions for cross-border payments that are 'fast, low-cost, more accessible, efficient, transparent, and safe.'
  • India will push for progress on linking digital currencies across the bloc during the summit, while leaders from Russia, China, and Iran are scheduled to attend this weekend.
