The New BRICS Development Bank: History of its Creation and Tasks

BRICS, which represents Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, is an alliance of five nations with the goal of developing together. The contemporary issues in the field of diplomatic interaction require fundamentally new solutions in order to facilitate cultural exchanges, cooperation in communication, education, and business. One of them is the establishment of a bank to guarantee the comfort and simplicity of fortifying financial connections amongst the member states of the BRICS.

India suggested the establishment of a new global development bank in 2012 during the Fourth BRICS Summit in New Delhi in order to raise funds for infrastructure and sustainable development initiatives in the P5 nations. A decision to establish the BRICS Bank was made jointly at the 2013 V summit. On July 15, 2014, in Fortaleza, Brazil, during the VI BRICS Summit, a declaration was signed regarding the creation of the BRICS NDB.

Reasons for the establishment of the BRICS New Development Bank

The primary and most important one is an independent economic evaluation of the World Bank and IMF programs. Their efforts did not always guarantee that South Africa, Brazil, Russia, India, and China opinions were taken into consideration. The easiest approach to clear up the misunderstandings and spare national governments some worry was to actually implement the brilliant suggestion of the Indian partners.

The objectives of the BRICS NDB are:

- Providing loans, investments, in the interest of supporting private and public projects of the member countries;

- co-operation with international and national organisations;

- assisting in the preparation and implementation of infrastructure and investment projects;

- supporting projects involving the financial interests of more than one BRICS member state;

- Establishment and management of specialised funds, the purpose of which will be to achieve the overall objectives of the New Development Bank.

International relations have developed positively as a result of the steps made to form and run the organization that the BRICS member nations established. The more capitals the bank runs with invested globally, the more readily cooperation and mutual help will be available to all.

A broad picture of the entire state of the economy can be shown by emphasizing the main aspects of the bank operations. Transparent communication, particularly in the financial sphere, improves global interconnectivity and has a positive impact on the general tone of interactions.
