Algeria Strengthens BRICS Bank Alternative System

Algeria’s membership in the BRICS bank comes as emerging economies are intensifying their de-dollarization strategies right now.

At this time, the BRICS is growing wider even as there are many criticisms of the IMF and World Bank for their Western-led policies. At the time of writing, many oil- and resource-rich countries, including Algeria, are increasingly aligning with the NDB as a result of boosted efforts to weaken the US dollar.
