"The #BRICS currency was an idea put forward by one of the members. It was discussed, but no decision was taken. One also has to keep in mind the geographical diversity of the countries, unlike the geographically cohesive eurozone," said Reserve Bank of #India Governor #Shaktikanta_Das

The same opinion was expressed the day before by the #South_African Foreign Ministry: "Misreporting has led to the misconception that #BRICS is planning to create a new currency. This is not the case."
