Areas Where BRICS Challenges the USA — And Where It Falls Short
As the global economic balance continues to shift, BRICS—once seen as a symbolic bloc—has grown into a formidable coalition with ambitions to challenge the U.S.-led financial order. With expanded membership and an aggressive de-dollarization push, BRICS is reshaping global dialogue on trade, energy, and economic sovereignty. But does it have the cohesion and tools to match its ambitions?
Areas Where BRICS Challenges the U.S. Dollar’s Dominance
1. De-Dollarization: A Bold Economic Agenda
At the forefront of BRICS’ economic strategy is its de-dollarization effort. Member nations are actively working to reduce reliance on U.S.-based financial systems by conducting bilateral trade in local currencies. This shift reflects a strategic priority: to strengthen domestic economies while reducing exposure to Washington’s fiscal leverage.
Local currencies first. The U.S. dollar, later.
This trend, if sustained, poses a direct threat to the dollar’s global reserve status, undermining its dominance in international settlements.
2. Strategic Control Over Global Resources
BRICS countries command a massive share of global natural resources:
Russia, Iran, and the UAE: Oil and natural gas leaders
Brazil: A global agricultural and food export powerhouse
South Africa: Rich in gold, platinum, and rare earth minerals
China: Global leader in manufacturing and rare earth supplies
If these nations settle trade in their own currencies, the U.S. dollar’s global usage could decline dramatically.
Together, this bloc represents a significant force in energy, agriculture, and mining, challenging U.S. supply chain influence.
Where BRICS Still Falls Short
1. No Real Alternative to the U.S. Dollar
Despite talk of a unified BRICS currency, no concrete monetary alternative exists. Member nations have failed to agree on a single tender, with each preferring to elevate its own national currency. As a result, they continue to rely on the U.S. dollar for international trade, especially in dealings with non-member nations.
Without a unified currency or financial architecture, BRICS remains tethered to the very system it seeks to disrupt.
2. Internal Political and Strategic Divisions
BRICS unity is often more optical than operational:
India and China: Ongoing border and trade tensions
Russia: Under sweeping Western sanctions and economic isolation
Egypt & Ethiopia: Limited global economic influence
South Africa & Brazil: Non-confrontational toward the West
UAE: Maintains deep financial ties with the U.S. and Europe
These geopolitical and economic fractures limit BRICS’ ability to act as a cohesive counterweight to the West, particularly in areas requiring unified policy or shared infrastructure.
Conclusion
While BRICS continues to challenge key aspects of U.S. economic dominance, the bloc’s internal divisions and lack of monetary alternatives restrict its global transformation potential—for now. However, its resource control and political momentum suggest it remains a powerful force to watch in the evolving multipolar world order.
