U.S. State Department Responds to BRICS De-Dollarization Efforts

The BRICS bloc has been actively pursuing initiatives aimed at reducing its dependence on the U.S. dollar. Central to these efforts is the idea of introducing a common currency or alternative payment systems.

Furthermore, the U.S. has stressed the importance of open and transparent financial systems.
