 <p>The BRICS expansion is historic as the alliance inducted six new countries in August during the 15th summit in Johannesburg. The six new countries are Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Iran, Ethiopia, and Argentina. Out of the six new countries inducted into the bloc, five are oil-producing nations, except for Argentina. After the expansion into an 11-member alliance this year, BRICS now controls 42% of the global oil supply and could do away with the US dollar.</p>

The development puts BRICS in a unique position giving them the authority and power to decide on oil payments moving forward. Several financial experts have warned that BRICS could leverage their oil production to cut payments in the US dollar.</p>

 <p>Once the tracks are in place, and more <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Oil" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/oil.html">Oil</a> trades are settled in local currencies, the US dollar could eventually be pushed out.
