Geopolitics will ‘hit you where it hurts’

Is BRICS+ setting the stage for a post-dollar world?

In this latest episode of the AB Majlis podcast, I was invited by Senior Reporter Tala Michel Issa of Arabian Business to share perspectives on the momentum behind BRICS expansion to Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran, Egypt & Ethiopia, the challenges BRICS+ nations face in reducing reliance on the US dollar and the implications for dedollarization.

Listen in as we explore what a transition away from dollar hegemony could mean for international trade and the global financial system, and why companies should be honing their geopolitical risk monitoring skills.

Listen to the podcast on Spotify, or Apple Podcast. Alternatively, the written summary can be read here.
