Seems like they have been falling short of expectations for a while now. How will they be able to prop up their failing currency?
They just have to make sure that it does not depreciate faster than other leading currencies such as the euro or the yen.

Well, they are going to be doing the brics thing soon. When will that get announced?
reply
you shouldn't expect them to proclaim their own currency at this point. but they have been hinting for months that there will be joint bilateral actions, a settlement system that will include gold etc etc. i think the direction is clear, a further de-dollarization ofthe brics

They will be backing up their own currency with gold, not brics. China will put in 10 billion USD, or the equivalent in their currency. So in fact, brics isnt backed up by gold...

Their meeting should be coming up soon, right?
