India to Propose Central Bank Digital Currencies and Cross-Border Payments at BRICS Summit
India plans to propose the adoption of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and seamless cross-border digital payments among BRICS nations at the upcoming summit in New Delhi on September 12-13. The discussions aim to enhance intra-BRICS trade using national currencies and reduce transaction costs, focusing on interoperability of payment systems. The Reserve Bank of India is piloting a CBDC and exploring cross-border digital transactions. The initiative is not directed against any country and aligns with BRICS' emphasis on payment system integration.
