Good Afternoon,
The New Payment Order: Nations Build Rails Beyond the U.S. Dollar
The world is separating from single-currency dependence — fast.
Overview
- New digital settlement rails and bilateral trade channels are increasing worldwide.
- Local-currency trade agreements now dominate Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
- Tokenized assets and cross-border digital ID systems accelerate settlement efficiency.
Key Developments
- BRICS “Unit of Account” draft finalized, focusing on settlement baskets rather than a circulating currency.
- ASEAN and Gulf states expand local-currency energy trade, reducing USD exposure.
- SWIFT upgrades cross-border CBDC interoperability, ensuring Western financial institutions remain competitive.
Why It Matters
The world is building parallel payment rails that reduce dependency on one reserve currency — a defining hallmark of systemic transition.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1 — Multi-Currency Settlement Systems Go Mainstream
Trade is shifting to local currencies, digital tokens, and commodity-linked contracts.
Pillar 2 — Infrastructure Becomes the New Reserve Asset
Countries storing value in ports, pipelines, grids, and digital networks are replacing the old model of storing value in paper debt.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Ethiopia’s BRICS Entry Rewires Africa–MENA Diplomacy
Addis Ababa emerges as a geopolitical bridge as BRICS reshapes regional influence.
Overview
- Ethiopia’s admission into BRICS has transformed its diplomatic reach, opening channels long inaccessible through traditional MENA institutions.
- The 2023 Johannesburg Summit brought Ethiopia in alongside major Middle Eastern economies, elevating Africa–MENA integration to levels not previously possible.
- BRICS now acts as a new platform for cross-regional cooperation, softening historical exclusions that once limited Ethiopia’s diplomatic influence.
Key Developments
- Ethiopia joined BRICS as one of only six nations selected from more than 40 applicants, gaining a seat beside newly admitted MENA oil-producing states.
- Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed framed the moment as a turning point, stating Ethiopia is ready to cooperate toward an “inclusive and prosperous world order.”
- Scholars note Ethiopia’s geography gives BRICS a direct gateway into Africa and the Middle East, amplifying the bloc’s strategic reach.
- Historically, Ethiopia lacked access to MENA institutions, complicating critical disputes such as the GERD negotiations; BRICS now provides an equal platform beside Egypt and Gulf states.
- Analysts say the expanded BRICS membership forces new political cooperation mechanisms, reshaping the balance between Africa and MENA actors.
Why It Matters
Ethiopia’s BRICS status is more than symbolic — it repositions Africa within Middle Eastern diplomacy, creating new channels for political coordination and economic strategy at a moment when global blocs are redefining their spheres.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1 — New Pathways for Regional Cooperation
BRICS offers Ethiopia diplomatic leverage previously blocked by MENA institutions, creating direct channels for African-Middle Eastern alignment.
Pillar 2 — BRICS Becomes a Cross-Regional Power Hub
The bloc’s expansion into both Africa and the Middle East increases its influence over energy, infrastructure, and political negotiation frameworks.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.
