Russian President Vladimir Putin has revealed a plan to offer BRICS partners to use digital currencies for investments, a move he believes could significantly advance the economic interests of developing nations.

At a BRICS media meeting on Friday, Putin said Russia is working on a new tool designed to be non-inflationary and aimed at promoting growth in the Global South. He noted its potential to support BRICS members and other developing economies. Putin was quoted by Tass as stating:

Now we want to offer our colleagues … we want to offer a rather serious thing — using digital currencies in investment processes.

The Russian leader noted that this proposal is not limited to BRICS nations alone but would extend to broader global partnerships, particularly targeting countries with promising development prospects. “And not only in the BRICS member countries but by the BRICS member countries in the interests of other developing economies that have good development prospects,” he said. “Moreover, we can create such an instrument that will be practically non-inflationary. It will be under the control of the relevant BRICS institutions. This could be another very interesting good step in the development of the Global South and with our direct active participation.”

Putin added that consultations are ongoing with major BRICS partners, including China, India, and Brazil, with South Africa expected to join the discussions soon. He noted:

We are already holding consultations with our Chinese friends, with our Indian friends, and we have just held consultations with the Brazilians. And we will definitely talk to South Africa.

“We will do this with everyone, we are doing this. We are moving forward gradually. But it seems to me that this is not enough. After all, in order to work effectively in the economic sphere, it is necessary to bring people together,” Putin added.

Russia’s push for digital currencies comes as part of its broader strategy to strengthen BRICS economic ties and create alternatives to Western-dominated financial systems. By integrating digital currencies into investment processes, Putin envisions a new framework for BRICS countries to navigate global economic challenges while fostering collaboration among developing economies.
