🇪🇹 Ethiopia just took a major step toward financial sovereignty!
EthSwitch has officially unveiled EthioPay as the country's new national payment card brand, positioning it as a homegrown alternative to global card networks like Visa and Mastercard.
This domestic card scheme enables all Ethiopian banks to issue and acquire payment cards locally, reducing dependence on international systems and keeping more transaction fees within the country.
The launch is part of Ethiopia's ambitious National Digital Payment Strategy (2026-2030), which aims to transform the nation into a digital, inclusive, and cash-lite economy while building secure infrastructure for person-to-person transfers, QR payments, and even cross-border transactions.
EthSwitch is also working to connect EthioPay with 32 international card networks through Discover Global Network, pending regulatory approval.
What do you think about countries developing their own payment systems?

🤔 Do you think BRICS needs its own secretariat? Is a flexible, low-cost decentralized structure better, or should it move toward a physical institution similar to the UN?

Matching as a strategy: a roadmap for BRICS+
The BRICS as a platform for economic cooperation has advanced across many dimensions, yet most of the focus in building this alliance has been centered on the top-down initiatives driven by the member states. But for such policy impulses to be sustainable they need to be supported at the micro-level of enterprises and this is where measures to support palpable pragmatic cooperation may have been lacking thus far.

These are three of the most important non-Western power blocs shaping today’s world order.
The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) is often seen as Russia’s “NATO” – a mutual defense alliance designed to counterbalance NATO’s influence.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is a China-led regional forum focused on security cooperation, political and economic stability, and counter-terrorism. It is NOT a collective defense pact.
BRICS is an intergovernmental economic organization seeking a more multipolar world and challenging Western economic dominance. BRICS is NOT a military alliance.
Russia is the country that sit at the intersection of these three organizations

🌾 India Says YES to Defense & Energy, But NO to US Farm Imports: Here's Why
India and the US are making serious progress on a major trade deal, but there's one sticking point: agriculture. While New Delhi is ready to boost purchases of American defense equipment, energy supplies, and aviation products, it has drawn a hard line on allowing US farm goods into the Indian market. The reason? Protecting millions of domestic farmers from increased competition that could hurt their incomes and threaten food security.
India is pushing for the US to drop its extra 25% tariff on Indian goods, while offering commitments in strategic sectors like clean energy, LNG, and civil aviation. But Washington wants access for American pulses, wheat, corn, and almonds—demands India simply won't budge on.
What's your take? Should countries prioritize protecting their farmers in trade deals, or is opening markets the path to mutual prosperity? 💭🌍 Drop your thoughts below!
