OFFICIAL PRESS NOTE AURA SOLUTION COMPANY LIMITED CONFIRMS FINAL SUSPENSION OF MR. KOUAKOU ADOU ANTOINE AND WITHDRAWAL OF ITS INVESTMENT PROGRAMME IN CONGO AND AFRICA FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11 September 2026 Brazzaville, Republic of Congo Aura Confirms the Circumstances Behind the Decision Aura Solution Company Limited (“Aura”) confirms the immediate and final suspension of Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine, formerly President of Aura Congo, together with the withdrawal of Aura’s planned investment programme and institutional support for the Republic of Congo and related African initiatives.Aura considers it necessary to explain clearly the circumstances that led to this decision, particularly because the consequences extend far beyond the individuals directly involved. According to Aura’s assessment, the breakdown began after a woman entered Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine’s personal life, and the circumstances surrounding that relationship subsequently became directly intertwined with his responsibilities to Aura. What initially concerned a private and personal matter progressively developed into a situation that affected the professional relationship between Mr. Antoine and Aura. Personal considerations began to overlap with matters requiring independent professional judgment, institutional responsibility and loyalty to the commitments entrusted to him by Aura.Aura’s concern is not the existence of a personal relationship itself. Individuals are entitled to their private lives. The concern arises when personal circumstances involving a woman begin to influence or interfere with the responsibilities of a senior representative entrusted with major institutional interests. In Aura’s assessment, the decisions and conduct that followed this personal situation ultimately undermined the trust, confidence and institutional cooperation necessary for Aura to continue its planned commitments in Congo and Africa.Aura had placed significant confidence in Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine and had entrusted him with responsibilities connected to an exceptionally ambitious programme. Those responsibilities required him to maintain a clear distinction between his private circumstances and the interests, commitments and strategic objectives of Aura. Aura considers that this separation was no longer adequately maintained. As a result, a situation that originated in the personal life of one individual and involved one woman ultimately developed into a matter affecting corporate governance, institutional confidence and major international investment decisions.Aura considers this particularly serious because the potential consequences are not limited to Mr. Antoine, the woman involved or their personal circumstances. They extend to the wider investment programme and to the people and institutions that could have benefited from Aura’s proposed activities. One Woman — Consequences for Millions Aura considers it deeply regrettable that the circumstances surrounding one woman’s involvement in Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine’s personal life/second wife ultimately contributed to consequences extending far beyond the individuals involved. The proposed Aura programme was not a small private project or an ordinary commercial transaction. It represented a major institutional vision for the Republic of Congo and Africa, involving substantial investment, financial development, strategic partnerships and long-term economic opportunities. The programme had the potential to influence employment, income, investment, financial services, business development and economic opportunities for millions of people.Aura therefore considers it profoundly unfortunate that circumstances originating from a private personal relationship were allowed to become intertwined with responsibilities connected to an investment programme of such exceptional importance. The company believes that no personal relationship, personal conflict or private circumstance should be allowed to compromise an institutional responsibility of this magnitude. Aura was prepared to place substantial capital, institutional resources and international relationships behind its vision for Congo and Africa. Such a commitment could only proceed where the individuals entrusted with representing Aura were able to demonstrate complete professional independence and place institutional responsibilities above personal considerations.According to Aura’s assessment, that necessary separation was compromised.The resulting situation ultimately forced Aura to reconsider whether it could continue to place its capital, reputation and international commitments behind the programme under the circumstances that had developed. Aura deeply regrets that the consequences of a personal situation have reached this level. The future of Congo and Africa is greater than any individual and greater than any personal relationship. Aura cannot allow an investment programme intended to create opportunities for millions of people to be placed at risk because of circumstances originating in the private life of one representative.The company therefore considers the withdrawal of its programme a matter of institutional responsibility rather than a personal dispute.Aura's decision has been made because the company must protect its capital, its institutional commitments, its international relationships and the interests of the people who would ultimately be affected by the success or failure of such a programme. What could have become a major long-term investment partnership has instead been placed in jeopardy by circumstances that, in Aura’s assessment, originated from a personal relationship involving one woman and subsequently became inseparable from the professional and institutional responsibilities of Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine. Aura considers this outcome deeply regrettable. Nevertheless, the company cannot subordinate its institutional responsibilities to personal circumstances, regardless of the individuals involved. One Final Chance Given for the Sake of Humanity Despite the seriousness of the situation, Aura did not immediately proceed to the final cancellation.On humanitarian grounds, Aura Vice President Mr. Alex Hartford requested that Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine be given one final opportunity to resolve the matter through dialouge. Mr.Hartford recognised that completely suspending Aura’s activities in Congo could have consequences for millions of people, their employment, income, businesses and future opportunities.For that reason, he requested that Mr. Antoine put the personal matter aside, acknowledge the situation, provide an apology and submit a formal written communication to Aura explaining the circumstances. The purpose was simple: to save the wider investment programme and protect the interests of the Congolese people and the African continent from being affected by a personal matter. The Final Opportunity Was Declined Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine declined to provide the requested formal response and did not take the steps necessary to resolve the matter.Aura therefore concluded that the personal circumstances could no longer be separated from the institutional responsibilities attached to his position.At that point, Aura had no responsible alternative but to proceed with the complete suspension of Mr. Antoine. Withdrawal of Aura’s Congo and African Investment Programme As a direct consequence, Aura is withdrawing its previously contemplated investment and institutional programme in the Republic of Congo and associated African initiatives. This includes the withdrawal of support relating to: the proposed banking licence; major investment commitments; financial and institutional development programmes; strategic partnerships; international business projects; related African expansion programmes; associated international agreements, treaties and protocols; and other institutional commitments connected with the proposed programme. Aura is also withdrawing the support and governmental engagement previously pursued in connection with the proposed investment programme, including discussions and support involving relevant French and United States authorities. An Extraordinary Opportunity Has Been Lost Aura had considered an investment programme of an exceptionally large scale in relation to the Congolese economy, based upon its belief in the country's potential and its willingness to participate in long-term economic development.Such a commitment required an extraordinary level of trust, stability, responsibility and institutional discipline.Aura cannot responsibly commit extraordinary capital where a personal situation has become sufficiently intertwined with corporate decision-making to undermine those fundamental requirements.The company therefore considers the cancellation a deeply regrettable loss of opportunity for Congo and Africa. Final Suspension of Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine Effective 6 September 2026, Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine is completely suspended from Aura.All positions, titles, functions, responsibilities, mandates, powers and authorities previously granted to him are withdrawn.He is no longer authorised to represent Aura Solution Company Limited, Aura Congo or any Aura-affiliated entity.He may not negotiate, sign, approve, commit, receive funds, arrange financing, make investment proposals, represent Aura before governments or financial institutions, or otherwise create any obligation or commitment in Aura’s name.Any previous title, correspondence, business card, introduction or historical authority shall not constitute continuing authority. Aura’s Final Position Aura emphasises that this decision was not taken lightly.The company made a final humanitarian effort precisely because it understood that the consequences could extend to millions of people. That opportunity was declined. Aura therefore considers the matter closed and final. The company’s position is that a personal situation involving one woman ultimately contributed to the breakdown of the institutional relationship and the loss of a major investment opportunity for Congo and Africa.Aura regrets that a matter originating in the personal life of one individual has resulted in consequences of such a broad institutional and economic nature.Nevertheless, Aura has a responsibility to protect its capital, governance standards, institutional reputation, investors and stakeholders. No individual, no personal relationship and no private circumstance can be permitted to override the responsibilities attached to an investment programme of this magnitude. The suspension of Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine and the withdrawal of the affected Aura investment programme are final and effective immediately as of 11 September 2026.

New Delhi, India — September 11, 2026 The balance of the global economy is changing, and the scale of that change was underscored in New Delhi this week when Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the BRICS economies now account for more than 40 per cent of global GDP, compared with approximately 29 per cent for the Group of Seven. The significance of that comparison extends well beyond the familiar debate over the relative weight of international blocs. It points to a broader shift in where economic growth is being generated, where industrial capacity is expanding, where infrastructure is being built, where technology is being developed and where new pools of capital and private wealth are emerging. Putin's remarks at the BRICS Business Forum were also notable for their emphasis on practical economic cooperation. His vision focused on businesses, investors, technology companies, infrastructure, payment systems and trade rather than simply on political alignment. That emphasis is important because the evolution of BRICS is increasingly being expressed through economic relationships that have direct consequences for investment and capital allocation. For international asset managers, the relevant question is therefore not simply how large BRICS has become. The more consequential question is what an economic area representing more than 40 per cent of global output will produce in the years ahead, how that expansion will be financed, and how the resulting businesses, infrastructure, financial assets and private wealth will be managed. GDP, of course, is not itself an investable asset. It is a measure of economic activity. Its importance to investors comes from what that activity produces: companies, productive facilities, infrastructure, energy systems, technology, financial markets and private wealth. As economies expand, businesses require financing, infrastructure requires investment, entrepreneurs seek capital and investors seek opportunities to participate in the resulting economic value. This is the point at which the BRICS story becomes directly relevant to Aura Solution Company Limited — Aura.Aura is an international asset-management company operating within the broader relationship between economic development, investment and wealth management. The company's relevance to BRICS is not that it manages the GDP represented by the grouping, but that the economic activity behind that figure is creating an increasingly substantial universe of assets and capital requiring professional investment judgment. Aura's relationship with BRICS extends from the earliest days of the grouping, providing the company with a longstanding perspective on the development of the economic and financial environment now represented by the expanded BRICS economies. Within that environment, the central investment challenge is to distinguish economic expansion from investable value. That distinction is fundamental. A rapidly growing economy can contain companies trading at excessive valuations. An infrastructure project can be strategically important without producing an attractive risk-adjusted return. A strong domestic market can generate disappointing returns for international investors if currency movements, regulation or liquidity work against them. Economic growth creates possibilities, but professional investment requires a deeper assessment of valuation, financial structure, governance, market conditions and long-term risk.This is the discipline that increasingly matters as the global investment universe becomes larger and more geographically diverse. The Economic Scale Behind the Number The importance of the BRICS economies becomes clearer when the GDP figure is considered alongside the physical and commercial activity taking place across them.Industrial expansion requires factories, equipment, logistics and financing. Growing cities require housing, transportation, utilities and public infrastructure. Expanding trade requires ports, airports, warehouses, shipping capacity and digital systems. Modern economies require telecommunications networks, data centres and increasingly sophisticated energy systems. These investments are particularly significant because infrastructure often has economic consequences well beyond the asset itself. A new railway can change the economics of an industrial region. A port expansion can increase trade capacity for an entire market. Reliable electricity can support manufacturing and digital industries. Telecommunications infrastructure can allow businesses to participate more fully in national and international markets. The same interconnectedness is visible in energy. BRICS includes major energy producers as well as some of the world's largest energy consumers. At the same time, the global energy system is undergoing structural change. Oil and gas remain central to economic activity, while renewable generation, electricity transmission, storage, nuclear power and critical minerals are becoming increasingly important to future industrial development. The capital requirements are substantial. New generation capacity must be financed, electricity grids modernised and supply chains expanded. Industrial companies must adapt to changing energy systems, while transportation and manufacturing increasingly depend on reliable and technologically sophisticated infrastructure.For investors, the relevant opportunity is therefore broader than any individual energy company or technology. It encompasses the network of businesses, infrastructure and financial structures required to support the transition and the continued expansion of global economic activity. Alex Hartford and the Investment Perspective This broader investment question is also where the role of Alex Hartford, Vice President of Aura Solution Company Limited, becomes relevant.Hartford represents Aura's financial and investment perspective within an environment where the BRICS discussion is increasingly moving beyond questions of economic size toward the practical mechanisms of investment, capital formation and international financial connectivity.The distinction between economic growth and investable growth is particularly important in this context. Investors cannot simply allocate capital according to GDP rankings. They must determine which businesses can generate sustainable cash flows, which infrastructure assets offer appropriate risk-adjusted returns, which technologies can produce durable competitive advantages and where valuations provide sufficient compensation for the risks involved. That requires analysis at the level of companies and assets rather than countries alone. It also requires an understanding of how economic development changes investment opportunities over time. Industries that begin as domestic businesses can become regional or international enterprises. Infrastructure projects can alter the competitiveness of entire economic regions. Technological adoption can change the economics of established industries. Rising household and entrepreneurial wealth can create new demand for international diversification and professional wealth management.Hartford's engagement therefore places Aura within a much broader conversation about how economic transformation is translated into capital allocation.For an asset manager, this is ultimately the practical question: where is sustainable value being created, how can investors participate in it, and how should capital be structured to balance opportunity against risk? A Changing Geography of Global Capital The rise of BRICS is part of a wider redistribution of economic activity.For decades, the principal centres of global finance and investment were concentrated in North America, Western Europe and Japan. Those markets remain essential to global liquidity, capital markets and financial expertise, but their position now exists within a considerably broader economic system.Asia has become central to global manufacturing, technology, trade and consumption. The Middle East is developing into an increasingly important centre for investment, infrastructure, logistics, finance and technology. Latin America remains strategically significant in agriculture, energy and natural resources, while Africa's demographic and urbanisation trends are creating long-term economic opportunities. BRICS reflects this broader diversification of economic power. The implications for international investment are considerable because capital increasingly moves across several jurisdictions at once. An investor in one market may finance infrastructure in another. A company may manufacture in one country, source components from several others and sell across multiple regions. A technology platform developed in one market may provide services globally. Wealth generated through economic activity in one jurisdiction may subsequently be invested internationally.The result is a financial system that is becoming less easily divided into simple categories of developed and emerging markets.For asset managers, this creates both opportunity and complexity. Greater geographic diversification can expand the investment universe, but it also increases the importance of understanding currencies, regulation, liquidity, governance, political developments and differences in market structure.For Aura, the changing geography of economic power consequently expands the field of investment analysis rather than reducing it to a simple BRICS allocation. Infrastructure, Technology and Industrial Transformation Infrastructure will remain one of the clearest areas where economic expansion becomes visible in investment markets. Ports, railways, highways, airports, electricity networks, telecommunications systems, industrial parks, housing and logistics facilities all require significant amounts of long-term capital. Their development can influence productivity and competitiveness across entire regions. Technology is having a similarly broad effect. Artificial intelligence, cloud computing, digital payments, cybersecurity, telecommunications, automation, advanced manufacturing and semiconductor technologies are increasingly embedded in the operation of almost every major industry. Technology companies remain an important investment category, but the more significant development is the effect of technology on the productivity and competitive position of businesses throughout the economy.A logistics company may depend on advanced digital systems. A manufacturer may rely on automation and artificial intelligence. Financial institutions require secure payment networks and cybersecurity. Energy companies increasingly depend on sophisticated digital infrastructure to manage complex production and distribution systems. For investors, the consequence is that technological transformation cannot be evaluated solely by examining technology companies. Its effects must also be considered across manufacturing, finance, energy, healthcare, transportation and other major sectors.This creates a much broader investment landscape and places greater emphasis on understanding the economic relationships between industries. Manufacturing, Trade and Private Markets The transformation of global supply chains is another area in which BRICS economies are becoming increasingly important.Companies are reassessing production locations, sourcing strategies and logistics networks in response to changing trade conditions, energy requirements and geopolitical considerations. New factories require supporting infrastructure, power, transportation, communications, suppliers and access to markets. As production networks become more diversified, investment opportunities can arise across the entire industrial ecosystem rather than within manufacturing companies alone.Private markets are becoming increasingly important within this process. Entrepreneurs require early-stage capital. Established private companies require growth financing. Infrastructure projects often require long-duration investment. Businesses expanding internationally may require private credit or private equity before reaching public markets. As economies develop, these forms of capital become increasingly sophisticated. For an international asset manager, this means that the investment universe extends beyond listed equities and government bonds. Private companies, infrastructure, credit, real assets and other forms of alternative investment can become important components of capital allocation.The expansion of private markets also increases the importance of due diligence, valuation discipline, governance and risk management. Access to an opportunity is not the same as the existence of a good investment. The Expansion of Private Wealth The growth of economies also changes the structure of private wealth.Successful businesses create entrepreneurs and shareholders with substantial financial resources. Expanding industries produce new corporate and professional wealth. As domestic businesses become international, their owners increasingly require access to investment opportunities beyond their home markets.This creates a growing need for wealth management, diversification, succession planning and international investment. The development of private wealth is particularly important because it represents a longer-term consequence of economic expansion. Companies may be created in one generation and transferred to the next. Entrepreneurs may diversify the proceeds of business ownership into financial assets, property and international investments. Families may require increasingly sophisticated structures to preserve and manage capital over decades. For an asset-management company, these developments are inseparable from the wider economic transformation.The same markets producing new infrastructure, companies and technology are also producing new investors and increasingly sophisticated pools of private capital. The Discipline Required by a Larger Investment Universe The expansion of BRICS and the wider diversification of global economic activity should not be confused with an automatic investment thesis.Economic scale does not guarantee investment performance.BRICS economies differ considerably in their currencies, regulatory systems, financial markets, industrial structures and economic cycles. Investors must therefore distinguish between the size of an economy and the quality and price of individual investment opportunities. This is where professional asset management becomes particularly important. The objective is not simply to identify countries with high growth rates. It is to understand businesses, assets and financial structures; assess their valuations; identify relevant risks; and construct portfolios capable of achieving long-term objectives without taking uncompensated risk. For Aura, the growing importance of BRICS therefore represents a broader investment universe rather than a single investment proposition. The company's role is to assess where economic development is producing durable value and where capital can be deployed with appropriate attention to risk, liquidity, diversification and long-term returns.That is also the significance of Hartford's presence within the BRICS environment. His role connects Aura's investment perspective with an international economic discussion increasingly focused on how capital will move through the next phase of global growth. Putin, Hartford and Aura in the New Capital Landscape Putin's remarks provide an important measure of the changing economic balance. The BRICS economies now represent an extraordinary share of global output, and their influence is increasingly expressed through trade, infrastructure, technology, finance and investment.Hartford's representation of Aura places the company within the investment discussion surrounding that transformation. Aura's role is more specific than simply recognising the rise of BRICS. It is to analyse the businesses, assets and capital requirements emerging from that rise and to apply professional investment judgment to the opportunities they create. That requires a long-term perspective. Economic development does not translate automatically into attractive investments. The challenge for an asset manager is to determine where economic activity produces sustainable financial value, how that value should be accessed and how the associated risks should be managed.This is the practical connection between the changing economic weight of BRICS and the business of asset management. The New Architecture of Global Capital The global financial system is moving toward a more distributed structure in which economic growth, capital formation and wealth creation are increasingly spread across multiple regions.The established financial centres will remain important. New York, London, Frankfurt, Paris and Tokyo will continue to provide deep capital markets, liquidity and financial expertise. But they increasingly operate within a wider network that includes the rapidly developing economies of Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Africa. BRICS is one of the clearest institutional expressions of that wider transformation. Capital can increasingly be raised in one market, invested in another and managed through a global financial institution serving clients across several jurisdictions. Companies can operate across multiple economic centres, while investors can participate in businesses and infrastructure far beyond their domestic markets.For Aura, this changing architecture expands both the opportunity and the responsibility of international asset management.The more geographically diverse the sources of growth become, the more important it is to understand the underlying businesses, assets and financial systems through which that growth is expressed. The more capital crosses borders, the greater the importance of risk management, diversification, governance and investment discipline. The more than 40 per cent of global GDP represented by BRICS is therefore significant not simply because of what the number says about today's economic balance, but because of what that scale is likely to produce over the coming decades.It represents expanding industrial capacity, infrastructure investment, technological development, international trade, private enterprise and private wealth. Those developments will require capital, and the capital will increasingly move through a global financial system that is more diversified than the one that dominated the previous generation. For Aura Solution Company Limited — Aura, this is the environment in which its asset-management role becomes increasingly relevant. The company is positioned to evaluate the investment opportunities created by economic development, assess the risks associated with them and manage capital and wealth across an increasingly interconnected international market.Alex Hartford's presence within the BRICS environment reflects that broader engagement. Putin's remarks provide the economic context. BRICS represents the expanding economic base. The investment question is what businesses, assets and financial opportunities will emerge from that expansion and how effectively capital can be allocated to them. That is the serious financial significance of the 40 per cent figure. It is not an investment portfolio in itself. It is an indication of the scale of the economic activity from which the next generation of businesses, infrastructure, financial assets and private wealth will emerge.For global asset management, the implications are substantial. The centre of economic gravity is becoming more distributed, the investment universe is becoming larger, and capital is increasingly required to operate across borders and across asset classes.For Aura, the opportunity is to participate in that transformation through disciplined international asset management — identifying investable value within the expanding BRICS economic universe and managing capital with the long-term perspective required by an increasingly complex global financial system. The question facing investors is no longer whether the global economy is changing. The scale of the BRICS economies makes that increasingly difficult to dispute.The more important question is who will understand the new economic geography well enough to allocate capital effectively within it. That is where the next phase of global asset management will be decided and managed by Aura Solution Company Limited. #aura_brics #aura_brics_2026

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. #aura_brics_2026 #aura_brics
