S3E66 BRICS Enters Second Stage of Expansion Under India's Presidency

** Welcome To The Choke Points **BRICS has entered a “second stage of expansion” — but this phase isn’t about adding flags. It’s about making BRICS usable: trade settlement, banking rails, liquidity, and repeat financing that shows up in real balance sheets, not summit speeches.In this video, we break down why BRICS expansion created expectations, why membership alone doesn’t change payment systems, where the new pressure is coming from (tariffs, chokepoints, sanctions-risk), what “utilization” actually depends on (firms, banks, market depth), how BRICS is trying to build real usage (local-currency settlement, NDB lending, platforms), and how India can turn “stage two” into execution.seo keywords: brics expansion, brics second stage, brics partner countries, brics de-dollarization, local currency settlement, brics payment system, new development bank ndb, brics trade settlement, india brics 2026, global trade finance, sanctions risk, tariff pressure, dollar rails, currency market liquidityChapters00:00 BRICS Stage Two Explained01:05 What Changed After Expansion02:40 Why Membership Is Not Enough04:10 Where the Pressure Now Comes From05:45 What Utilization Depends On07:30 How BRICS Is Trying to Create Usage09:10 India’s Execution Plan for Stage Two#hashtags#brics #bricsexpansion #dedollarization #tradefinance #globaleconomy #internationaltrade #geopolitics #currency #ndb #india #emergingmarkets #supplychains #sanctions #tariffs #multipolarity #thechokepoints X: @thechokepointsTikTok: @thechokepointsRumble: @thechokepointsSpotify: @thechokepointsYouTube: @thechokepoints
