India Opposes Creation of Separate BRICS Currency, Emphasizes Trade Cooperation
India, represented by Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, has stated it does not support the creation of a separate BRICS currency. The BRICS group includes 11 emerging and developing countries collaborating on global and regional issues. Discussions at the recent BRICS trade and industry ministers' meeting in Jaipur also focused on promoting balanced trade, investments, and improving MSME financing among member countries. Some BRICS members, notably Russia and China, have explored alternatives to the US dollar, but India opposes such currency initiatives.
