Malaysia Secures Whopping $25 Billion BRICS Investment Windfall

BRICS money floods Malaysia as geopolitical tides shift

The dollar's dominance gets a $25 billion reality check

Kuala Lumpur just became BRICS' newest darling—and Wall Street's latest headache. The emerging markets bloc is dumping cash into Malaysian infrastructure like there's no tomorrow (and for some currencies, there might not be).

While Western investors were busy chasing AI hype, BRICS nations quietly wrote the playbook on 21st century economic statecraft. Now Malaysia's holding $25 billion worth of their poker chips.

Funny how 'de-dollarization' moves fastest when there's actual gold—or in this case, ringgit—backing it up. Maybe the IMF should take notes.

Malaysia Gains From Being a BRICS Partner Country

Trump’s tariffs are also making Malaysia stick with BRICS and ASEAN alliances for trade and economics. Developing countries are banding together to dodge US tariffs and initiate new trade deals with member alliances. They are aiming to uplift their economies without the support of the US dollar and depend on local currencies. This makes them stronger during economic turbulence and allows them to bypass the US dollar for trade and tariffs.
