“A highly efficient BRICS payment system can stimulate the settlement of the currency of member countries and ensure the stability of settlements and investments among member states, which account for more than 20% of global FDI inflows.”

The head of the RDIF pointed out that in the face of increasing non-market risks in the global payment infrastructure, the development of a single payment system and its integration will have an important impact on “building a BRICS economic partnership”.

The German Banking Association proposes to create a digital euro

The BRICS member states are not the only countries considering a new cryptocurrency. At the end of October, the Bank of Germany Association (Bankenverband) submitted a submission that raised several reasons for creating a digital euro.

The banks said they should create a digital euro based on encryption technology while establishing a common pan-European payment platform:

“Users of the digital euro – whether human or machine – must be clearly identified. This requires a European, or more broadly, global identity standard. For each form of digital currency, Adopting a standard for identifying customers, this standard should be as strict as the standards applicable to banks and other obligatory entities in combating money laundering and terrorist financing under the current legal framework."
