đšđ„ USD SHOCKER FROM INDIA đ„đš
đźđł India just told BRICS: "No Dollar Needed" đł
đ”âĄïžđŽ Full trade in Rupees â starting NOW! đ
đą BREAKING: India Ditches the Dollar?
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has quietly made a game-changing move â allowing BRICS & partner nations to settle trade fully in Indian Rupees (INR) instead of the US Dollar.
đ What Happened?
RBI issued a circular telling banks they can now let overseas companies open Vostro accounts without prior RBI approval.
đĄ These accounts let foreign firms hold & move INR directly for imports/exports â no USD middleman.
đ„ Why This Matters:
đ Practical shift â Removes a key hurdle for rupee settlements in cross-border trade.
đ Geopolitical signal â Comes after fresh US tariffs on India. Seen as both economic strategy & diplomatic reply.
đ Boost for INR â More offshore rupee liquidity, faster & cheaper trade with friendly nations.
â How It Works:
Banks can open/operate Vostro accounts for foreign customers (with KYC).
Firms use INR for transactions directly â cutting USD out of the loop.
đ Immediate Effects:
Easier rupee settlements = đ more INR demand.
Speeds up trade with BRICS & allies.
Could shift some trade away from USD over time.
â Reality Check:
Adoption wonât be overnight â needs infra, liquidity & trust.
USDâs dominance remains strong â this is strategic groundwork, not instant dethroning.
â Bottom Line:
This is a quiet but powerful step toward internationalising the rupee. If adopted widely, it could reshape trade corridors & slowly erode USDâs transactional dominance in the region. đđč
