1. Economist Says Indonesia Joins BRICS Not to Dedollarize, but to Expand Trading Partners
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Bank Permata Chief Economist Josua Pardede assessed that Indonesia's membership in BRICS does not necessarily mean supporting the dedollarization agenda echoed by China and Russia. According to him, this decision is more aimed at expanding trading partners and strengthening Indonesia's economic position in the global arena.
