India to Push BRICS Digital Currency Link Despite Hurdles, Sources Say
- India is pushing to link central bank digital currencies across BRICS nations for cross-border payments at the bloc's summit in New Delhi on September 12 to 13.
- The Reserve Bank of India proposal builds on the 2025 Rio de Janeiro declaration, which pushed for payment interoperability to make cross-border transactions more efficient rather than replacing the dollar.
- Strained relations between members like Iran and the UAE remain a sticking point, while India also remains cautious about deepening financial connectivity with China due to national security concerns.
- Currency-Swap arrangements are required to manage trade imbalances before any digital linkage becomes operational, as BRICS struggles to integrate financial infrastructure across its diverse membership.
- Previous attempts at shared payment mechanisms have made little headway, and President Donald Trump has warned the bloc against bypassing the dollar by threatening high tariffs.
