Is There a Single Currency in the BRICS?

If the west decouples itself from China and other autocratic regimes, just as we have done, to an extent with Russia, what does that mean for international trade? What does it mean for international investment if we exclude money from countries that are growing faster than we are? This week’s discussion follows a question from Pola, a listener, who asked, “Any chance you could talk about foreign debts and how this works? Also what impacts are likely to occur as BRICS etc move to payments in their own currencies instead of US dollars”. Or, perhaps, more poignantly, what would be the impact of a BRICs wide trading currency to challenge the dollar.
