✔ Anastasia Podrugina, Associate Professor at the HSE School of World Economy, Head of the Section of Structural Global Economic Problems under the Centre for Comprehensive European and International Studies, and Expert at the BRICS Expert Council-Russia, delivered a lecture on the history and economic foundations of the US dollar’s dominance in the global financial system. She examined trends in the dollar use for reserves and settlements, noting that while geopolitical aspects play a role, “economic factors—such as liquidity and transfer costs—remain the underlying drivers.”
✔
Alexandra Morozkina
, Deputy Dean for Research at the HSE Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs and Expert at the BRICS Expert Council-Russia, built on this theme with a focus on BRICS initiatives. She highlighted that while declarations have referenced settlements in national currencies since 2010, concrete progress began around 2017. Today, key elements of the #BRICS financial infrastructure aimed at enhancing the liquidity of national currencies are taking shape, including a BRICS exchange alliance, the BRICS Local Currency Bond Fund, the New Development Bank, and the Grain Exchange.
✔
Igor Makarov
, Head of the School of World Economy at the HSE Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs and Expert at the BRICS Expert Council-Russia, noted that the current Sustainable Development Goals set for 2030 are unlikely to be met. He emphasised that the global community will soon need to redefine the sustainable development agenda for the coming decades. The BRICS nations, he argued, could play a pivotal role in this dialogue, offering fresh perspectives on energy systems, digital infrastructure, social welfare, and consumption models.

Russia redirecting vast quantities of fertilisers to BRICS nations
Russia has increased its fertiliser supplies to the BRICS countries by about 20%, Head of the Russian Association of Fertiliser Producers Andrey Guryev said, adding that it is redirecting enormous volumes to them.
Supplies are being redirected due to US and European tariffs, among other things, the Association’s Head emphasised.

Russia has increased its fertiliser supplies to the BRICS countries by about 20%, Head of the Russian Association of Fertiliser Producers Andrey Guryev said, adding that it is redirecting enormous volumes to them.
"Fundamentally, a huge volume of fertilisers is being redirected to #BRICS, Global South countries. This dynamic will persist, especially given the ongoing growth of fertiliser production in Russia," Guryev said. The Association projects an increase in Russian fertiliser exports to 44 million tonnes in 2025, he noted.
Supplies are being redirected due to US and European tariffs, among other things, the Association’s Head emphasised.
"Now, of course, we are making a choice in favour of developing BRICS markets. Let's say that the US introduced a compensatory duty against Russian fertilisers several years ago, and we left this market," he said, adding that the same happened as duties on Russian fertilisers that could become prohibitive by 2029, were introduced by the European Union this summer.

Expanded BRICS: searching for common ground in growth challenges
Today, BRICS stands as a centre of gravity for rapidly developing nations of the Global Majority, now comprising ten countries with Saudi Arabia participating as an invited member. What sets this group apart is its ability to bring together nations with diverse economic structures, spread across various continents, yet united by their rising influence on global geopolitics and economy.
🕊 🕊 🕊 🕊 🕊 members exhibit varied prospects and characteristics in trade and investment and find themselves at different stages of socioeconomic development. Yet this very diversity creates fertile ground for mutual learning—each nation has forged or is forging its own development path, often diverging from mainstream theories and underscoring the importance of respecting national contexts.
Alexandra Morozkina, Deputy Dean for Research at HSE University's Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs and Expert at the BRICS Expert Council-Russia, along with Ekaterina Bakhmetyeva, Research Assistant at HSE University’s Centre for Comprehensive European and International Studies, have prepared an analysis (in Russian) examining structural transformations within the BRICS countries and highlighting key drivers of their economic growth.

Great BRICS Teachers: the group’s cultural and moral foundation
From October 13 to 17, 2025, the Brazilian chapter of the international socio-cultural programme BRICS People Choosing Life will take place in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
