Nations harassed by US for foreign policy decisions need help: Putin

I believe it is time to raise the BRICS' role to a new level and to make our association an unalienable part of the global management system for sustainable development.

In the economic sphere, we are going to discuss IMF reform. The BRICS countries are concerned about the unreasonable delay in holding a debate of this subject. This jeopardises all the efforts of G20 in this direction. It is the case of fulfilling the rightful demands of "new economies" to balance the IMF according to the 21st century reality.

Another important initiative that is underway is creating a BRICS pool of foreign currency reserves. It will become a safety net to help us form a joint response to economic challenges.

Now is the right time for BRICS to make a forward thrust and permanently insert themselves into the global financial structure. Since the IMF/BIS is riddled with corruption, failing miserably and has no credibility left, when the slide downhill accelerates there will be a power vacuum. It would be smart for nations like Canada, Australia, etc. to get on board early as a hedge against the future collapse.
