The augmentation of BRICS, with the inclusion of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and Argentina, marks a significant pivot in global geopolitics. As the consortium swells with these diverse economies, the repercussions on global financial architectures become palpable.

What implications will this move hold for global finance and trade? We probe deeper with insights from our panel of experts.
