Strengthening International Relations Strategy
President Abdelmadjid Tebboune confirmed Algeria’s application during his return from a diplomatic visit to China, where China pledged to invest $36 billion in various Algerian sectors. This investment partnership with China serves as a strong foundation for Algeria’s potential inclusion in the BRICS group, signaling the nation’s ambition to expand its international influence.
The BRICS’ Expanding Interest
Algeria’s interest in joining BRICS is not an isolated case. Over 40 countries, including Argentina, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Cuba, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Comoros, Gabon, and Kazakhstan, have expressed their desire to join the powerful coalition. Algeria, with its rich resources and strategic partnerships, stands out as a favored candidate for inclusion in an expanded BRICS group.

Potential Impact on the U.S. Economy
Meanwhile, the BRICS alliance is also aiming to challenge the status of the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency. With a growing number of countries expressing interest in trading in the new BRICS currency, the U.S. dollar’s reserve currency status could be threatened.

As the coalition continues to gain interest from multiple countries, its success in challenging the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency may have significant implications for the global economy. As Algeria navigates its diplomatic strategy in the lead-up to the annual BRICS summit, the world will closely observe how this pivotal moment unfolds for the nation’s economic diplomacy. Additionally, the potential shift away from the U.S. dollar could present challenges and opportunities for the U.S. economy, making it a crucial point of concern for policymakers and financial analysts alike.
