#DigitalAssetBill The lever of the BRICS: a structured evasion strategy

Alongside this economic performance, it was in the commercial architecture of the BRICS where Russia found decisive support. From the first waves of sanctions, Moscow accelerated its integration into the BRICS alliance and launched a firm de-dollarization strategy.

This initiative allowed Russia to continue its international exchanges using local currencies. Russia rewrote its trade agreements to send and receive local currencies in cross-border transactions.

This reorientation was supported by partners like China, India, and Saudi Arabia, who saw the sanctions as an opportunity to strengthen their own energy and financial autonomy.

India, for example, saved 7 billion dollars in foreign exchange by purchasing Russian oil at low prices. As for Saudi Arabia, it imported Russian crude oil at a reduced price before redistributing it in the European market, thus obtaining comfortable margins.

These practices, made possible by the absence of the dollar in transactions, illustrate a gradual yet structured shift in the global monetary center of gravity. The Russian strategy not only allowed for evasion of sanctions but also consolidated a multipolar dynamic where the BRICS position themselves as catalysts for new trade norms.
