 <p>The BRICS alliance might discuss the formation of a new currency in the upcoming summit in August, hints Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk. The BRICS bloc is advancing in its motives to sideline the U.S. dollar and end its global reserve supremacy. The alliance of five nations aims to launch a new currency that could challenge the U.S. dollar in global trade. The bloc has successfully convinced a handful of developing countries to ditch the U.S. dollar and trade in local currencies.</p>

 <p>Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Overchuk said that <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="BRICS" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/brics.html">BRICS</a> could discuss the formation of a basket of currencies at the summit. Therefore, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="BRICS" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/brics.html">BRICS</a> could launch different types of currencies to take on the U.S. dollar in the international markets. Overchuk also revealed that payment settlement systems could be discussed in the August summit.</p>

 <p>His remarks are contradictory to what South African <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="BRICS" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/brics.html">BRICS</a> Ambassador Anil Sooklal said last week. The Ambassador recently revealed that the alliance will not discuss launching a new currency.</p> 
 <p><strong>“The BRICS leaders will hold a meeting soon where they may touch upon the settlement system issue,”</strong> Overchuk said.</p> 
 <p>Overchuk added that creating a BRICS currency could be on the cards.<strong> “Perhaps, the idea of creating a basket of currencies based on a certain payment unit will also be discussed,”</strong> he said.</p>

 <p>However, he acknowledged that launching a new currency to challenge the U.S. dollar is difficult and needs more effort. <strong>“Clearly, it’s a very difficult issue,” </strong>he said to Russian news outlet Tass. The Minister concluded, <strong>“Perhaps the leaders will decide to task the relevant expert bodies with looking into the matter”.</strong></p>
