4 new BRICS nations in 2025, dedollarisation imminent
New BRICS nations announced as the fastest growing geopolitical block embark on BRICS expansion
Four new nations will join the Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa alliance (or BRICS) in 2025, and their impact could reshape geopolitics and global economics.
Here are the four new BRICS nations in 2025 in two Minutes.
Iran
First, we’ve got Iran, which is all about breaking away from Western influence.
With one of the largest oil reserves and a strategic location, Iran brings geopolitical leverage to the table.
Putin announced Iran has “become a fully-fledged member of the BRICS.”
Think of Iran as the wildcard—you never know what’s coming next, and hopefully President-elect Donald Trump can avoid a war with them.
Ethiopia
Ethiopia, one of Africa’s fastest-growing economies, brings a unique perspective to BRICS.
With strong ties to agriculture, manufacturing, and strategic positioning in the Horn of Africa, Ethiopia represents Africa’s growing influence on the global stage. It’s a big win for the geopolitical group as they diversify their membership and build stronger ties with the continent.
UAE (United Arab Emirates)
The UAE is becoming a major financial hub, blending luxury and leverage. You’ve got skyscrapers, crypto-friendly policies, and oil dollars, all packaged neatly in a desert with air conditioning.
If BRICS is forming the Justice League, the UAE might be Bruce Wayne.
Argentina
Finally, we have Argentina, the group’s wildcard. With a growing economy under newly elected President Javier Milei and rich natural resources, they bring something different to the emerging geopolitical group—potential and a bit of chaos.
So, What Does All This Mean For Dedollarisation?
This expansion could tilt the balance of global power away from the West, especially as BRICS nations push for de-dollarization. It could reshape trade, finance, and alliances worldwide if they succeed.
Trump has said he will work against countries that try to de-dollarize ,so we’ll see what happens.
That’s all we got for this two-minute review. See you at the next one.
