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.
