最新报道:At the 2025 Moscow Financial Forum, BRICS launched a precious metals exchange enabling settlements in gold, platinum, diamonds, and rare earth minerals, bypassing Western systems like SWIFT. Backed by control of 72% of rare earth reserves and 68% of trade already conducted without the U.S. dollar, the initiative leverages resource dominance and a gold standard amid the dollar's sharp decline. With Africa and emerging markets joining, including Nigeria's $400 million rare earth investment, the move challenges Western financial hegemony through asset-backed trading and independent pricing.
