  • BusinessDay reported that the SARB has stalled proposals by Russia and India to introduce an interlinking payment infrastructure for settlement in their own currencies, as part of their efforts to reduce reliance on third-party currencies, chiefly the dollar. The Reserve Bank reportedly said that the BRICS should focus on other priorities, such as improving data-exchange standards, while South Africa should focus on interlinking initiatives in Africa.
