🌍🌍🌍 It is a Marshall Plan in reverse in which emerging and developing economies finance the developed world - President of Brazil

"BRICS has been responsible for a significant portion of global economic growth in recent decades... However, financial flows continue to flow to rich nations. It is a Marshall Plan in reverse in which emerging and developing economies finance the developed world," Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said at the BRICS Summit in Kazan, adding that "BRICS initiatives and institutions break with this logic."


He also emphasized that BRICS countries stand for "3.6 billion people who are part of dynamic markets" and represent "36% of global GDP by purchasing power parity," while having "72% of the planet's rare earths, 75% of the manganese and 50% of the graphite."

🗣 Putin: Those who use dollar as a weapon, make a great mistake

"[Madam Rousseff, you] said that the dollar was used as a weapon. It is true, and we see that. I think it is a great mistake by those who do it, since the use of the dollar, which is still the most important tool in global finance... as a political tool, undermines trust in this currency..." Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the BRICS Summit in Kazan, adding that "we are not rejecting the dollar or fighting against it. But if they don't let us work with it... We should seek other alternatives, and this is exactly what we do,


Russian President also stressed that speed of transition to a "fairer economic system" will depend on the timing of abandoning the use of "someone else's rules and someone else's platforms".

"We aspire to cooperation, but still we should understand that the longer we live and work under someone else's rules and on someone else's platforms, the longer the transition will take to build a new fair economic financial system, and the more turbulence we will experience, including those that we now witness in the Middle East," Putin said.
