Alternative to SWIFT urgent need, says Russian Envoy Denis Alipov

New Delhi: The BRICS member states are “coherently moving towards creating reliable payment mechanisms through the use of national currencies as well as the dialogue on digital currencies as priority areas.

India and Russia since the Ukraine conflict have been conducting business in national currencies. India has initiated a national currency payment mechanism with certain countries in SE Asia, Africa and South Asia.
