➤ Six BRICS nations are developing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and exploring interoperability through initiatives like 'BRICS Bridge' and linking existing payment systems (UPI-Pix) to facilitate cross-border transactions.
➤ The primary goal is to reduce reliance on the US dollar for international trade by enabling direct settlement between national digital currencies, bypassing traditional correspondent banking and currency conversion.
➤ Significant challenges remain, including differing regulatory frameworks, sanctions on Russia and Iran, and the management of a shared infrastructure, which may lead to a gradual shift towards bilateral and regional currency usage rather than an immediate dollar displacement.
