BRICS nations have settled over 65% of their trade transactions in local currencies, significantly reducing reliance on the US dollar, according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Only a third of payments now use the greenback, marking a pivotal shift in global forex markets as developing economies assert financial independence.

The accelerating de-dollarization trend poses structural risks to US economic sectors tied to currency hegemony. Cross-border trade mechanisms are being rewritten as BRICS local currencies fill the vacuum left by the retreating dollar.
