She said multilateral development banks can de-risk projects and help BRICS economies attract sustained private investment at scale.
- On Wednesday, Abdolnaser Hemmati, Governor of the Central Bank of Iran, announced Iran will soon join the New Development Bank, the multilateral lender established by the BRICS group of nations.
- Established by BRICS, the New Development Bank mobilizes resources for infrastructure and sustainable development projects in emerging markets and developing countries; Iran joined BRICS in 2024.
- Hemmati stated "Productive cooperation has commenced between our country and India in the areas of monetary affairs, banking, and the digital economy," while BRICS members seek to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar.
- Iran remains under sweeping international sanctions and faces a labor crisis with more than one million jobs lost and two million people unemployed, driving the nation's pursuit of alternative financial channels.
- The BRICS summit in September offers a "prime opportunity to meet with officials from member nations," Hemmati said, as Iran pursues bilateral and trilateral monetary cooperation with the eleven member states.
