The Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) and Chair of the BRICS Business Council Indonesia, Anindya Novyan Bakrie, presented strategic measures to enhance trade and services collaboration among BRICS member states during the BRICS Business Forum 2026 in New Delhi, India.
The first strategy focuses on facilitating cross-border mobility for business actors and professionals. This includes advocating for a BRICS Business Travel Card and mutual recognition of professional qualifications to accelerate trade and investment activities.
Furthermore, the second strategy emphasizes connecting digital payment systems across borders and expanding local currency usage in trade. This approach aims to create a fast, cost-effective, and secure payment framework while maintaining financial sovereignty.
Lastly, the third initiative highlights the necessity of investing in human capital and services infrastructure. Priorities include upskilling the workforce, fostering academic collaborations, and supporting AI adoption for small and medium enterprises, supported by institutions like the New Development Bank.
