Infographic: BRICs vs the West – the gold divide
As geopolitical realignments accelerate, BRICS nations are rapidly expanding their gold holdings as part of a broad shift away from US-dollar-denominated reserves. Since 2020, BRICS countries have increased gold’s share of their total reserves by 102%, driven by both aggressive central-bank buying and rising metal prices. In contrast, Western nations have seen only a 12% increase – growth almost entirely attributable to price appreciation rather than new tonnage.
This widening gap underscores the momentum behind global de-dollarization and highlights a powerful structural catalyst for sustained gold demand in the years ahead.

As opposed to considering BRICS as an opposition to the US dollar, it would have been of benefit to join BRICS and have a wider global market access and share on equal par with BRICS nations thereby strengthening the dollar, not as a dominant currency, but one of applicability in global business and trade.
Hegemony is becoming extinct as an economic modality as a globalist dinosaur.
I support BRICS as Ive noticed powerful potentials.
