BRICS: New member countries will be announced at the October 2024 summit
The 2024 summit will see a paradigm shift in the world order as more developing countries will be invited to join BRICS. It will be done. Most of these countries want to sever ties with the US dollar and use their local currencies for cross-border transactions.
Furthermore, as the BRICS countries grow in size in 2024, the value of the US dollar will also increase as each country becomes less dependent on its currency. The US dollar will take a backseat, and local currencies will take the lead in the global economy.
However, only a handful of the 35 countries receive an invitation to join BRICS. Decisions to admit new member states are made by consensus, with all existing member states deciding together who to admit. The next decade will be difficult for the US dollar as BRICS countries want to withdraw the US dollar from global reserves.
