In the run-up to the 7^th BRICS leaders Summit to be hosted by Russia, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will attend an event in Moscow on Saturday to outline priorities for Russia within the group of five.

Russia’s National Committee on BRICS research is organizing a forum to discuss trade and a “fair world order”.
Lavrov will speak at the event on Saturday on the “future of BRICS-born institutions” said an official statement.
The biggest emerging markets are uniting to tackle under-development and currency volatility with setting up of institutions that encroach on the roles of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
They have already announced the launch of a $100 billion BRICS Development Bank and a $100 billion currency reserve fund. A BRICS Network University is also in the offing.
Russian President Vladimir Putin had in 2014 also proposed the countries come together under an energy alliance that will include a fuel reserve, as well as an institute for energy policy.
“We propose the establishment of the Energy Association of BRICS. Under this ‘umbrella’, a Fuel Reserve Bank and BRICS Energy Policy Institute could be set up,” Putin said.
A formal announcement on the BRICS Energy association is expected to be made during the BRICS Summit in Russia in July, Russian official sources said.
The group has already created the BRICS Stock Alliance an initiative to cross list derivatives to smooth the path for international investors interested in emerging markets.
Leaders of the five global powers will gather in the Russian town of Ufa on 8-9 July seeking to pin down further consolidation of political and economic ties.
The BRICS nations have called for an overhaul of management of the World Bank and IMF and oppose the practice of their respective presidents being drawn from the US and Europe.

A BRICS University in the works: Russia

May 15, 2015, 6:57 am

The BRICS economies want to institute a BRICS Network University that could be a potential victory for the cause of higher education in these five countries and to the international postgraduate market.
“A large-scale event to establish a BRICS Network University has been planned for September, and in October, a BRICS Global University Summit will take place in Moscow,” said Russian Deputy Minister of Education and Science Alexander Klimov in St. Petersburg.
He was speaking at an international conference on “Education and global cities” being held in the Russian city from May14-15.
Demographic changes in BRICS mean the appetite for higher education is expanding quickly and providing a source of international postgrad students that the US and UK are currently exploiting.
“Over the course of the next month and a half we should agree on the fundamental structure of BRICS University so that in September, the BRICS Network University, endorsed by all members of the association, will be officially established,” Klimov said.
Both the UK and US universities are heavily dependent on the BRICS, especially China and India, for their international numbers. India, by 2024, will be home to the largest tertiary-aged population, numbering over 119 million.
The ‘BRICS Working Group on Education’, comprised of senior officials and ministers will meet on 25-26 June and later in November in Moscow to formulate the development of the proposed university.
The discussions ahead of the 7^th BRICS Summit in Russia is expected to highlight the critical role that education plays in creating a skilled workforce that meets the needs of industry in these emerging markets.
The BRICS – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – agreed to set up the $100 billion development bank last July, in a step toward reshaping the Western-dominated international financial system.
The BRICS Bank’s first president will take charge within the next ten days, said the Indian Finance Ministry on Thursday.
The Bank will have its headquarters in China with India holding its first rotating presidency.
Presidents Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, Dilma Rousseff, Jacob Zuma and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet in Russia on 8-9 July to further consolidate ties within the bloc.

BRICS Exchanges Alliance

BRICS Exchanges Alliance is a joint initiative of emerging markets to expose foreign investors to their dynamic economies and to increase the liquidity of their trading venues.
The initiative brings together the BM&FBOVESPA from Brazil, Moscow Exchange from Russia, the BSE Ltd (formerly known as Bombay Stock Exchange) from India, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEx) , as the initial China representative, and the JSE Limited (Johannesburg Stock Exchange) from South Africa.
The mission of the alliance is to give global investors an easy access to major equity index derivatives of the BRICS markets thus giving them an opportunity to diversify their portfolios.
The first stage of the BRICS Exchanges’ cooperation is cross-listing of benchmark equity index derivatives, which is meant to facilitate liquidity growth in the BRICS markets and considerably strengthen the international position of the BRICS alliance in the global economy.
The cross-listed derivatives include:

• Brazil’s IBOVESPA futures;
• Russia’s MICEX Index futures;
• India’s S&P BSE SENSEX Index futures;
• Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index futures and Hang Seng China Enterprises Index futures; and
• South Africa’s FTSE/JSE Top40 futures.

At the second stage of the project members of the alliance plan to jointly develop new products for cross-listing on their exchanges. The third stage may include further cooperation in joint products design and new services development.

One of the significant sources of funds for the Fascistic Nazionist Khazarian Jesuit Mafia is the healthcare industry which registered a whopping $3.09 trillion in 2014, and is projected to soar to $3.57 trillion in 2017, in the US alone. We believe that this is just a conservative figure.
