Putin’s Legal War on Euroclear & Indonesia’s 5% Growth: BRICS Rising
By Think BRICS
Russia’s legal counterattack against Euroclear signals a dramatic shift in global financial power as BRICS nations outpace Western economies. Putin’s strategic lawsuit demands 15 billion rubles ($185 million) from Euroclear through First Asset Management (formerly Sberbank), challenging Western sanctions and financial institutions. This legal warfare extends beyond compensation, targeting Euroclear’s operations in the Asia-Pacific region through Hong Kong courts – potentially paralyzing Europe’s financial power in the world’s fastest-growing economic zone.
Meanwhile, Indonesia demonstrates remarkable economic resilience with 4.78% GDP growth, second only to China among G20 nations. This near-5% growth stems from strategic infrastructure investments enhancing manufacturing, trade, agriculture, construction, and mining sectors. Indonesia’s success exemplifies the BRICS alliance’s development model focused on domestic demand, infrastructure investment, and energy diversification. Recent discoveries of offshore gas fields and plans for 1.2 million hectares of bioethanol-producing sugar palm plantations further strengthen Indonesia’s energy independence and economic outlook.
Economist Benjamin Epstein highlights how Western sanctions have backfired, causing self-isolation and economic contraction while BRICS nations forge alternative financial architectures. The stark contrast between Asia-Pacific’s 5% growth and the European Union’s anemic 1% demonstrates the shifting geopolitical balance as emerging markets build resilience against Western financial weaponization.

“The Safety of the People, shall be the Highest Law” Marcus Tullius Cicero, seems to be the important message of Multi-Polarism, and BRICS.
@Luke1959

About time africa, Asia, South america boycott imf, euro clear, world bank.
@michaelbarbato8403
On top of all that the Western nations are being kicked out of Africa where they were stealing nearly all the wealth from the Africans and they have no way to replace all that wealth at a time that they are facing or are nearing bankruptcy and the old printing press solution is not a solution anymore.

The wise leaders and The wise people will never trust the West and USA. Every thing in this world are about trust. GOD bless the truth and all of good people.
@bebekadventure
Taking Indonesia into BRIKS+ is the right decision , great GP and big market because of the 4th largest populations and also the demography bonus they has.
@bertanelson8062
Glad to see Russia taking Euroclear to court! Since when is it legal to steal assets? Hopefully the legal system in Hong Kong isn’t dominated by the west & this suit can go forward in good faith. As to Indonesia, with a growing, young population, planning for domestic consumption is good for growing the economy. It ought to be understood that every nation works best when its people are prosperous.

As an American, when we examine the rules based order obsensably in effect since Brenton Woods and it’s effect on the world…. Sometimes we get in the habit of thinking it is someone else that has to deal with the effects of the problems…. I feel like the effective way of dealing is with our own finachial issues because we will have another oportunity to change these institutions in the short run… We need to be prepaired.

“If you don’t understand Marx, you don’t understand Multi-Polarity” Professor Radhika Desai, speaking with Dr Pascal Lottaz on Neutrality Studies. Prof Desai, was at pains, not to collate BRICS with any Communist Ideology.

Russia is entitled to keep its money. And they should sue for damages including loss of interest.

Australia has just woken up as to how important Indonesian was to Australia. But too late Indonesia will trade through bricks.
