Undeterred by the
huge ruckus about the European storm, BRICS working committees
continue to
work and hold various coordinative meetings in Russia
which is now hosting these annual meetups.
Among the areas being considered are:
The use of sovereign currencies in settling interbank payments;
Elimination of administrative barriers and creation of BRICS credit rating agency;
Physical connectivity between BRICS countries, and;
The establishment of a BRICS free trade zone.
The BRICS organization’s goal is to make the whole economy more equitable than the present, and to depart from the outmoded concept of having an enemy image to unite the Sheeples.
