BRICS finance ministers make unified proposal for IMF reforms
- On July 5 in Rio de Janeiro, BRICS finance ministers called for reform of the IMF, urging new voting rights and an end to European leadership.
- This call followed meetings of 11 emerging nations amid rising unilateral trade measures and ahead of a December IMF quota review meeting.
- The ministers supported a revised quota system that takes into account factors such as economic size, purchasing power, and currency valuations to ensure better representation of low-income nations and safeguard the interests of the most vulnerable members.
- They emphasized that the adjustment of quotas should take into account each member's standing within the world economy while safeguarding the share allocated to the most economically disadvantaged countries, and they endorsed a new guarantee mechanism supported by the New Development Bank.
- These reforms aim to enhance developing countries' representation, reduce financing costs, and signal BRICS's growing influence in global financial governance.
