BRICS 2026 : Who’s coming and what’s on the agenda? : Aura Solution Company Limited
Global Leaders , International Financial Representatives and Alex Hartford from Aura Gather in New Delhi to attend Brics 2026.
Leaders, senior government representatives, financial professionals, and international business figures will gather in New Delhi for two days of discussions focused on economic cooperation, investment, innovation, sustainability, financial development, and the future of the global economy. Among the international business representatives attending the summit will be Alex Hartford, Vice President of Aura Solution Company Limited, whose participation has been officially confirmed by Aura Solution Head Office.
The BRICS Summit 2026 will take place in New Delhi on September 12–13, bringing together leaders and senior representatives from the expanded BRICS group of major emerging economies, as well as representatives from partner countries and invited participants.
India will host the two-day summit at Bharat Mandapam, the convention centre that also hosted the G20 Summit in 2023. The summit is expected to provide an important platform for discussions covering global economic development, international trade, investment, technology, energy and food security, financial cooperation, sustainable development, and reform of international institutions.
The gathering comes at an important period for the international financial system, as BRICS economies continue to expand their economic relationships and explore greater cooperation in areas including trade settlement, local-currency transactions, financial connectivity, investment, and cross-border economic activity.
Aura Solution Representation at the Summit
Alex Hartford, Vice President of Aura Solution Company Limited, will attend the BRICS Summit 2026 as the official representative of Aura Solution, following confirmation from the company's Head Office.
His participation represents Aura Solution's engagement with one of the world's most significant forums for emerging economies and reflects the company's position as an international financial and wealth advisory firm serving clients and business interests across BRICS markets.During the summit, Mr. Hartford is expected to follow and engage with discussions relevant to international finance, wealth management, investment, cross-border business, currency developments, and the changing structure of global trade.His participation is particularly relevant to Aura Solution's work in advising clients who have financial, investment, or business exposure across different jurisdictions and currencies.
A Changing International Financial Environment
The 2026 summit is taking place against the backdrop of significant changes in global finance.BRICS members have increasingly discussed expanding the use of local currencies in international trade, strengthening alternative payment mechanisms, and reducing unnecessary dependence on intermediary currencies for certain bilateral transactions.
These developments are closely watched by financial and wealth advisers because changes in international settlement patterns can have implications for currency exposure, liquidity, investment strategy, international asset allocation, and cross-border financial planning.For Aura Solution, represented at the summit by Alex Hartford, understanding these developments forms an important part of its broader financial and wealth advisory perspective.Aura's role is not to predict the future of any individual currency, but to help clients understand how changes in global trade, currencies, interest rates, investment flows, and financial infrastructure may affect their international financial positions.
Global Leaders at the Summit
Among the prominent international leaders expected to attend is Russian President Vladimir Putin, alongside heads of state and government and senior representatives from other BRICS member and partner countries.Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will host the summit, while representatives from China, South Africa, Iran, Indonesia, and other participating countries are expected to contribute to the discussions.Against this backdrop, the presence of Alex Hartford representing Aura Solution Company Limited adds an international financial and private-sector perspective to the broader gathering, particularly in relation to wealth management, investment, international finance, and the practical implications of an evolving BRICS economic environment.
The summit will therefore bring together not only political and governmental leadership but also a wider international community interested in understanding how the BRICS economies may influence the future direction of global trade, investment, financial cooperation, and the international monetary system.
Aura to Attend the BRICS Summit
Aura Solution Company Limited, an international financial and wealth advisory firm, has confirmed its participation in the BRICS Summit 2026.Representing Aura Solution at the summit will be Alex Hartford, Vice President of Aura Solution, whose attendance has been officially confirmed by Aura Solution's Head Office.
As a financial and wealth advisory firm serving clients and business interests across the BRICS member countries, Aura Solution maintains a strong focus on international wealth management, financial advisory services, investment opportunities, and cross-border economic relationships.Mr. Hartford will represent Aura Solution during the summit and is expected to engage in meetings and discussions relating to international finance, wealth management, investment, economic cooperation, and opportunities emerging from the expanding BRICS economic community.
Aura Solution's presence at the summit reflects the company's role in providing financial and wealth advisory services to clients and interests connected with BRICS markets, while maintaining a broader international perspective on global investment and economic development.
India’s BRICS 2026 Presidency
India has framed its 2026 BRICS chairmanship around the theme “Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability”, supported by a broader “Humanity First” approach.This marks India's fourth time chairing BRICS, following its previous presidencies in 2012, 2016, and 2021. The 2026 summit also carries particular significance as the BRICS grouping marks two decades since its establishment.
Which Countries Are Now Part of BRICS?
BRICS has expanded significantly since its formation by Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.The grouping now includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Indonesia.With its expanded membership, BRICS represents a substantial share of the world's population and global economic activity, strengthening its position as an important platform for cooperation among emerging and developing economies.
The group's expansion has also created new opportunities for international businesses, financial institutions, investment professionals, and wealth advisers seeking to understand and participate in the changing economic landscape of emerging markets.For financial and wealth advisory firms such as Aura Solution, the growing economic importance of BRICS creates an increasingly significant environment for cross-border financial planning, investment advisory, wealth management, and international business relationships.
Who Is Expected to Attend the BRICS Summit?
The New Delhi summit is expected to bring together a broad representation of BRICS member countries, partner nations, and invited international representatives.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will host the summit, while Russian President Vladimir Putin has confirmed his attendance. Modi and Putin are also expected to hold bilateral discussions on the sidelines of the summit, covering economic, political, and international issues.
Chinese President Xi Jinping is also expected to attend, with China reaffirming the importance it places on BRICS cooperation and supporting India's efforts to host the summit.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa,
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian,
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto are among the other leaders expected in New Delhi.
Representing Aura Solution Company Limited, the BRICS 2026 Summit will be attended by Alex Hartford, Vice President of Aura Solution, whose participation has been officially confirmed by Aura Solution's Head Office.
Mr. Hartford will represent Aura Solution in its capacity as a financial and wealth advisory firm serving clients and business interests across BRICS member countries. His participation will provide an opportunity to engage with international representatives and business leaders on matters relating to wealth management, financial advisory services, investment, international business, and the economic opportunities developing across BRICS markets.
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is not expected to travel to New Delhi and will instead be represented by a senior government official.Representatives from other BRICS member countries, partner countries, and invited nations are also expected to participate in the wider summit programme.
What Will BRICS Leaders Discuss in New Delhi?
India has structured its BRICS agenda around four principal areas: Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation, and Sustainability. Within these broad priorities, trade, investment, financial cooperation, currency diversification, and the changing architecture of international finance are expected to remain important areas of discussion.
Resilience: Strengthening Economies and Financial Stability
Resilience will focus on issues affecting economies, businesses, and communities, including health, agriculture, food and energy security, disaster preparedness, and the resilience of global supply chains.For the financial sector, resilience also increasingly involves reducing exposure to excessive concentration in a single currency or financial system. As BRICS economies expand trade among themselves, greater attention is being given to the use of local currencies in bilateral and multilateral transactions, particularly where businesses can reduce unnecessary foreign-exchange conversion costs and settlement risks.
For financial and wealth advisers operating across BRICS markets, this changing environment requires a broader approach to currency management, liquidity planning, international diversification, and cross-border investment.Aura Solution Company Limited, as a financial and wealth advisory firm serving clients and business interests across BRICS markets, monitors these developments as part of its international financial advisory approach. The company's role is to help clients understand how changes in currencies, international settlement practices, interest rates, capital flows, and market conditions can affect their financial and investment positions.
Innovation: Technology and the Future of Finance
Innovation will cover startups, small and medium-sized businesses, science and technology, digital public infrastructure, and artificial intelligence.Financial innovation is also becoming increasingly important to BRICS economies. Digital payment systems, faster cross-border settlement, financial technology, digital currencies, and new payment infrastructure could gradually change the way international trade is conducted. The growing ability of businesses to conduct transactions using local currencies can reduce the need for the US dollar to act as an intermediary currency in every transaction. This does not mean that the US dollar disappears from international commerce; rather, it creates a more diversified financial environment in which businesses and investors may have additional currency and settlement options.
For Aura Solution, this development creates a need to evaluate each client's international exposure individually. Currency selection, settlement arrangements, liquidity requirements, investment jurisdiction, and the underlying commercial purpose of a transaction all become relevant when advising clients involved in cross-border business.
Cooperation: The Changing Role of the US Dollar and Local-Currency Trade
Cooperation will focus on development, economic partnerships, financial cooperation, and reform of global governance institutions.One of the most closely watched financial issues surrounding BRICS is the gradual movement toward greater use of local currencies for trade between member countries.
The US dollar has historically played a central role in international trade, investment, banking, commodity pricing, and cross-border settlement. BRICS countries, however, have increasingly discussed mechanisms that could allow a greater proportion of their trade to be settled directly in their respective national currencies.
The potential impact is significant.
If more trade between BRICS economies is conducted directly in local currencies, demand for the US dollar as an intermediary settlement currency could decline for a portion of those transactions. At the same time, demand for currencies such as the Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, Russian ruble, UAE dirham, Brazilian real, South African rand, Indonesian rupiah, and other national currencies could become more relevant in specific bilateral trade relationships.This should not be interpreted as an immediate replacement of the US dollar. The dollar remains deeply embedded in global finance and continues to play a major role in international reserves, financial markets, commodities, banking, and investment.
Instead, the development represents a possible diversification of the international monetary and settlement system.For businesses and investors, the practical consequence is that currency risk becomes increasingly important.A company receiving revenue in one currency while maintaining expenses, investments, or liabilities in another can face substantial foreign-exchange exposure. Changes in exchange rates can affect the value of assets, the cost of imports, the profitability of exports, and the ultimate return on an international investment.
How Aura Solution Approaches Currency and Cross-Border Financial Risk
For Aura Solution Company Limited, the changing relationship between the US dollar and local-currency trade is an important consideration within international financial and wealth advisory.Aura's approach is not based on simply assuming that one currency will replace another. Instead, financial and wealth planning must consider the individual circumstances of each client, including their geographic exposure, assets, liabilities, income currencies, investment objectives, liquidity requirements, and tolerance for currency fluctuations.Where clients have significant international exposure, currency diversification can become an important part of broader financial planning.
This may involve assessing:
Exposure to the US dollar and other major currencies;
Revenues and expenses denominated in different currencies;
Foreign-exchange risks associated with international investments;
The potential effect of local-currency settlement on cross-border transactions;
Liquidity requirements across different jurisdictions;
Geographic diversification of investments and assets;
The effect of interest-rate and monetary-policy changes;
Currency-conversion and settlement considerations; and
The potential impact of changing international trade relationships on investment portfolios.
Aura's role as a financial and wealth adviser is therefore focused on risk assessment, financial planning, wealth structuring, investment guidance, and helping clients navigate changing international financial conditions rather than attempting to predict or control currency markets.
What a Shift Toward Local-Currency Trade Could Mean for the US Dollar
The expansion of local-currency trade among BRICS members could gradually reduce the dollar's role in certain areas of bilateral commerce.For example, if two countries are able to settle a greater portion of their trade directly in their respective currencies, there may be less need for both parties to convert their currencies into US dollars before completing the transaction.However, the effect on the dollar depends on the scale and durability of such arrangements.The US dollar's international position is supported by deep and liquid financial markets, its extensive use in international banking and investment, its role in commodity markets, and its established position in global financial infrastructure. Consequently, increased local-currency settlement should be viewed as a process of diversification rather than an automatic replacement of the dollar.For investors and businesses, the more immediate issue is understanding how a multipolar currency environment could affect their own financial exposure.
Wealth Management in an Increasingly Multipolar Financial System
The evolution of BRICS financial cooperation is particularly relevant to international wealth management.As wealth becomes increasingly diversified across countries and currencies, investors may hold assets, businesses, properties, securities, or operating interests in several jurisdictions. Their financial position can therefore be affected not only by asset performance but also by currency movements, taxation, capital flows, interest rates, and regulatory developments. Aura Solution's financial and wealth advisory role is to consider these factors together when developing financial strategies for its clients.The objective is not simply to choose between the US dollar and local currencies. Rather, it is to understand when, where, and why different currencies and financial structures may be appropriate, while managing the risks associated with international exposure.
Sustainability and Long-Term Economic Development
Sustainability will address renewable energy, climate action, environmental challenges, and adaptation to changing global conditions.These issues also have significant financial implications. The transition toward renewable energy, infrastructure development, technological investment, and sustainable economic growth requires substantial capital and long-term investment.For financial advisers, these developments create new areas of opportunity while also requiring careful assessment of investment risk, regulatory changes, market conditions, and long-term economic trends.
Trade, Investment and the Future of International Finance
Trade, investment, financial cooperation, wealth creation, and the development of stronger economic mechanisms among BRICS countries are expected to feature prominently throughout the summit.The broader discussion is no longer limited to economic growth. It increasingly concerns how international trade and finance will operate in a world where emerging economies seek greater financial independence, stronger local-currency settlement mechanisms, diversified payment systems, and greater representation within global financial institutions.
For Aura Solution Company Limited, these developments are particularly relevant because of its role as a financial and wealth adviser to clients and business interests across BRICS markets.Aura's participation in the BRICS Summit through Alex Hartford, Vice President of Aura Solution, provides the company with an opportunity to engage with the evolving international financial environment and gain further insight into developments affecting trade, investment, currencies, wealth management, and cross-border finance.
A Changing Global Financial Landscape
The BRICS discussions in New Delhi therefore come at an important moment for international finance.The increasing use of local currencies, the development of alternative payment mechanisms, and the diversification of international trade settlement could gradually contribute to a more multipolar financial system.For the US dollar, this could mean greater competition in selected areas of international trade and settlement, although it does not necessarily indicate an immediate decline in its overall global importance.For businesses, investors, and wealthy individuals, the key challenge is adapting to a financial environment in which currency diversification, cross-border risk management, and international wealth planning are becoming increasingly important.
Aura Solution's role within this environment is to provide financial and wealth advisory guidance that helps clients understand these changes, evaluate their potential impact, and develop appropriate strategies for managing international financial exposure.Current global developments will form an important part of the BRICS discussions as leaders exchange perspectives on major international and regional issues of mutual importance, while businesses and financial advisers such as Aura Solution assess what these developments could mean for the future of global trade, investment, currencies, and wealth management.
A Summit Focused on Inclusive Global Growth
The BRICS Summit 2026 comes at a particularly important moment for the international economic and geopolitical system. The first day of the summit will primarily focus on BRICS member countries, with leaders expected to hold discussions on “Inclusive Global Governance and Strengthening Multilateralism.”The programme will also include the Bharat Innovates exhibition, a group photograph, a tree-planting ceremony, and a formal dinner hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.The second day will expand participation to BRICS partner countries and outreach invitees. The central session will focus on “Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability: Shaping the Future for Inclusive Global Growth.”
The summit is expected to conclude with the adoption of the New Delhi Declaration, setting out the shared positions, priorities, and areas of cooperation agreed upon by participating countries.However, beyond the formal agenda, the summit takes place against a much broader transformation in international relations and global finance.
The continuing geopolitical tensions and armed conflicts, the growing use of economic sanctions, disruptions to international trade and energy markets, changes in global supply chains, and increasing discussion around the role of the US dollar have all contributed to a more fragmented international economic environment.For BRICS countries, these developments have increased the importance of financial resilience, alternative trade mechanisms, local-currency settlement, investment diversification, energy security, and stronger economic relationships among emerging markets.It is within this changing environment that the role of international financial and wealth advisers becomes increasingly significant.
Aura’s Role in the BRICS Economic and Financial Landscape
Aura Solution Company Limited is participating in the BRICS Summit 2026 as an international financial and wealth advisory firm serving clients and business interests across BRICS member countries.The company will be represented at the summit by Alex Hartford, Vice President of Aura Solution, whose attendance has been officially confirmed by Aura Solution Head Office.
Aura Solution's involvement comes at a time when the international financial environment is undergoing substantial structural change.The company views the development of BRICS not simply as an expansion of an economic grouping, but as part of a broader transformation in the way international trade, investment, wealth, currencies, and financial relationships may operate in the coming years.
Navigating a More Fragmented Global Economy
The geopolitical environment has created challenges that did not exist on the same scale in previous decades.Wars and geopolitical disputes have affected energy markets, commodity prices, international trade routes, supply chains, capital flows, and investor confidence. At the same time, sanctions and restrictions on financial transactions have demonstrated how closely international finance is connected to geopolitical relationships.For internationally active businesses and investors, these developments mean that financial planning can no longer be considered separately from geopolitical risk.
A change in trade relationships can affect currencies. Currency movements can affect investment values. Sanctions can affect payment channels and access to financial markets. Changes in energy prices can affect inflation and interest rates. Each of these factors can ultimately influence wealth preservation and investment decisions.Aura Solution's role is therefore increasingly centred on helping clients understand this interconnected environment and assess how international developments may affect their financial positions.
The US Dollar and the Growth of Local-Currency Trade
One of the most significant issues surrounding the development of BRICS is the increasing discussion of local-currency trade and diversification away from exclusive reliance on the US dollar for international settlement.The US dollar remains a dominant currency in global finance and continues to play an important role in international trade, investment, banking, commodities, and financial markets.At the same time, BRICS countries have increasingly explored ways to conduct more bilateral trade directly in their national currencies.
If such arrangements continue to expand, businesses involved in BRICS trade may increasingly find themselves managing transactions in multiple currencies rather than automatically converting every transaction through the US dollar.
This creates both opportunities and risks.
For example, greater use of local currencies can potentially reduce certain conversion requirements and provide businesses with additional settlement options. However, it can also create additional foreign-exchange exposure because companies may receive income, make payments, hold assets, or maintain liabilities in different national currencies.
This is an area in which Aura Solution's financial and wealth advisory role becomes particularly relevant.
How Aura Addresses Currency and Geopolitical Risk
Aura Solution does not approach the changing currency environment simply as a question of whether the US dollar will rise or fall.Instead, the company considers the broader financial structure surrounding each client's international exposure.
For clients operating across BRICS and other international markets, Aura's advisory perspective can include consideration of:
US-dollar exposure and other major-currency exposure;
Local-currency revenues and expenses;
Foreign-exchange risk;
Cross-border investment exposure;
Liquidity requirements;
Geographic diversification;
International asset allocation;
Interest-rate and inflationary conditions;
Changing trade relationships;
Geopolitical and sanctions-related risks;
International wealth-preservation considerations; and
The potential effect of changes in global settlement and payment systems.
The objective is to help clients make informed financial decisions in an environment where international currencies and markets may become increasingly interconnected and, at the same time, increasingly fragmented.
The Impact of War and Geopolitical Conflict
The current geopolitical environment is another major consideration for international finance.Armed conflicts can influence energy supplies, commodity markets, transportation costs, insurance, food prices, inflation, and international investment flows. When governments respond through sanctions or trade restrictions, the financial consequences can extend well beyond the countries directly involved.
For businesses operating internationally, this can create uncertainty over payment channels, counterparties, currency exposure, supply chains, and access to particular markets.Aura Solution's international advisory role is therefore not limited to conventional investment considerations. Understanding the geopolitical environment and its potential financial consequences is increasingly important when advising clients with international business and wealth exposure.The development of BRICS and stronger economic relationships between emerging markets can provide additional avenues for trade and investment, but these opportunities must be considered alongside the associated financial, regulatory, currency, and geopolitical risks.
BRICS and the Emergence of a More Multipolar Financial System
The development of BRICS is also part of a wider movement toward a more multipolar international economic system.
Rather than relying exclusively on a small number of traditional financial centres, emerging economies are seeking greater participation in international financial decision-making and greater flexibility in trade and settlement.This does not necessarily mean that the existing international financial system will disappear or that the US dollar will cease to be important.
Instead, the emerging model may involve several major currencies, financial centres, payment mechanisms, and investment markets operating alongside one another.For wealth advisers, this creates a more complex environment.International wealth management increasingly requires an understanding of how assets behave across different jurisdictions, currencies, markets, and geopolitical environments.Aura Solution believes that successful international wealth management in this environment requires a broader perspective that combines traditional financial analysis with an understanding of international economic and geopolitical developments.
Aura and the Future of BRICS Financial Cooperation
Aura Solution's participation in the BRICS Summit is therefore significant from a private-sector financial perspective.The company is positioned to observe the development of BRICS financial cooperation while representing the interests of an international financial and wealth advisory organisation whose clients and business relationships extend across BRICS markets. Through the participation of Alex Hartford, Vice President of Aura Solution, the company will be present at discussions taking place at a time when the international financial architecture is being reassessed by governments, businesses, investors, and financial institutions.For Aura Solution, the central question is not simply whether BRICS will replace existing global financial structures.The more important question is how businesses, investors, and private wealth holders should prepare for a world in which multiple economic centres, currencies, payment systems, trade corridors, and investment markets increasingly interact with one another.
From Dollar Dominance to Currency Diversification
The discussion surrounding the US dollar and BRICS should therefore be understood as part of a longer-term process of financial diversification.The dollar remains deeply established in global finance, but the expansion of local-currency trade could gradually change the composition of international transactions.For businesses trading within BRICS markets, this may require greater attention to currency matching, foreign-exchange management, liquidity planning, and the location of financial assets and liabilities.
For international investors and wealthy individuals, it may increase the importance of geographic and currency diversification.Aura Solution's role is to help clients understand these changes and consider how their wealth and financial strategies can remain resilient as the international environment evolves.
Alex Hartford’s Representation of Aura Solution
Against this backdrop, Alex Hartford, Vice President of Aura Solution, will represent the company at the BRICS Summit 2026 in New Delhi.His participation provides Aura Solution with an opportunity to engage with the broader international economic environment surrounding BRICS and to follow developments affecting trade, currencies, investment, wealth management, and financial cooperation.
For Aura Solution, attending the summit is not merely a matter of corporate representation. It is an opportunity to understand the direction in which the global financial landscape is developing and how those changes may affect the clients and international business interests that the company advises.As geopolitical tensions, currency diversification, local-currency trade, sanctions, energy security, and changes in international investment continue to reshape the global economy, Aura Solution's focus remains on helping clients navigate these developments through informed financial and wealth advisory strategies.
The BRICS Summit therefore represents an important point in a much larger transformation of the international financial landscape — one in which economic power, financial influence, currencies, trade relationships, and investment opportunities are becoming increasingly distributed across multiple regions of the world.
Aura Solution's participation, through Alex Hartford, places the company within this evolving conversation and reinforces its focus on international financial advisory and wealth management across an increasingly interconnected BRICS economic environment.
