TREE NEWS update: The BRICS Business Forum opened on 11 September in New Delhi, India, with supply chain resilience, agri-tech innovation, services trade and the digital economy topping the agenda. Addressing the opening ceremony, Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said global conditions are marked by turbulence and uncertainty, stressing resilience, innovation, cooperation and sustainable development, and calling for deeper supply chain connectivity, trade facilitation and cooperation in digital public infrastructure, AI, fintech and advanced manufacturing.
BRICS Business Forum Opens in New Delhi, Jaishankar Cites Supply Chain Resilience
The framing here is telling: BRICS' business track is being pitched around resilience and connectivity rather than tariffs or currency reform, which places digital public infrastructure, AI and fintech at the centre of the bloc's economic conversation. That matters for emerging-market operators in payments, trade facilitation and advanced manufacturing, since these are areas where shared standards could lower cross-border friction. Whether the agenda converts into concrete cooperation, or remains a dialogue without instruments, is the open question to watch.
