At the recent BRICS summit in Kazan, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov announced that Russia’s presidency of BRICS had reached critical milestones in dedollarization strategies, with Russia now handing over implementation efforts to Brazil. Ryabkov emphasized:

Weaning off the dollar through mutual settlement clearing schemes is a well-tested approach that needs further development and a multilateral character.

He noted that Russia has formalized these ideas in agreements, marking a tangible advancement toward reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar within the BRICS economic bloc. He described the shift as essential for circumventing what he called “illegitimate sanctions, including secondary ones,” adding: “We are handing this topic over to the Brazilians, fully convinced that the initiative has been made; these are not just words but the result of work formalized in agreements.”

Discussing current frameworks, Ryabkov highlighted practical measures such as BRICS Bridge, BRICS Clear, and BRICS Reinsurance, which he said had “matured during Russia’s presidency and have now become elements of agreements between leaders and specialists.” He continued:

There are already functioning systems to ensure mutual settlements that bypass the dominant SWIFT system, which has been effectively placed on a monopoly pedestal by the West.

He expressed confidence that these systems “should not only be developed but also multiplied, integrated with each other, forming a network of such systems,” which would help shield BRICS nations from Western-dominated financial mechanisms. To address broader logistical and transport challenges, particularly within the insurance sector, Ryabkov stated that BRICS needs solutions “independent of Western mechanisms.”

Looking ahead, Ryabkov asserted:

Dedollarization through the increasing use of national currencies is a direct, clear, and effective path.

“Currency digitalization is also an area that we certainly need to address. We must move on to practical matters in some aspects. We are accumulating experience, and it is very positive,” he further noted. His comments highlight an ambition within BRICS to establish more autonomous and resilient financial systems and explore digital currency initiatives as part of a broader effort to support economic sovereignty among member nations.
