A Russian official has admitted that BRICS is working to create its own currency to challenge the dominance of the United States dollar and potentially replace its hegemonic position in international trade.
BRICS, an international economic alliance of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, has received a boost in support of its de-dollarization efforts following the outbreak of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine. Moscow found itself reeling under an avalanche of Western-backed sanctions and restrictions against its ability to freely conduct trade in the global market. (Related: Potential BRICS expansion could mark end of dollar as world’s pre-eminent currency.)
Against this backdrop, Russia has taken the lead in strengthening ties between BRICS nations and laying the groundwork for the creation of a common currency to prevent Western economic warfare from affecting them.
During the two-day St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in India, State Duma (parliament) Deputy Chairman Alexander Babakov called for the creation of a joint Indian-Russian common currency to form stronger financial relations between the two nations.
“Our goal should be focused on writing new rules in the financial sphere in order to enable the use of an already common currency,” said Babakov. “It doesn’t matter whether it’s a digital ruble, a digital rupee, a digital yuan or some other currency. But this currency must follow the laws of our respective nations.”
Babakov noted that this proposed new currency should be backed by gold or other precious metals. He pointed out that the American dollar does not benefit the shared objectives of India and Russia, and their reliance on the greenback continues to give the U.S. an unfair amount of leverage over both nations.
Effort to create common currency part of ongoing de-dollarization campaign
The U.S. dollar has been called the “king of currency” due to it becoming the official reserve currency of the world in 1944, a decision made by a delegation from 44 Allied countries called the Bretton Woods Agreement.
Since then, the dollar has enjoyed a powerful status in the world as the most pre-eminent currency in use today, a status that has greatly benefited American elites and has caused a lot of pain to the U.S.’s foes around the world due to the disproportionate amount of influence the dollar has given the U.S. over other economies.
This influence has allowed America to use sanctions and other tools of economic warfare as a means for achieving its foreign policy objectives.
But in recent years, America’s main foreign adversaries, including Russia and China, have been calling for an end to the dollar’s hegemony. This process, known as de-dollarization, is the process of substituting the U.S. dollar as the currency used for international trade.
De-dollarization’s main proponents highlight how reducing other countries’ dependence on the dollar and the American economy would help mitigate the impact of economic and political changes in the U.S. on their own economies. De-dollarization also reduces the exposure of nations to fluctuations in the dollar’s value and to interest rate changes, which can help improve global economic stability and reduce the risk of financial crises impacting more nations.
De-dollarization moves have been gaining speed in the last few years, especially in 2022, when a paper by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) noted that the dollar’s share of global foreign-exchange reserves fell below 59 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022, extending its two-decade-long process of declining.
Furthermore, the IMF noted that the dollar’s decline has not been accompanied by an increase in the shares of its Western allies like the British pound sterling, the Japanese yen or the euro, which are “other long-standing reserve currencies.”
“Rather, the shift out of dollars has been in two directions – a quarter into the Chinese renminbi, and three quarters into the currencies of smaller countries that have played a more limited role as reserve currencies.”

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
