Algeria Formally Applies to Join BRICS Alliance: A Bid for Economic Power
Algeria has officially thrown its hat into the ring, submitting a formal application to join the BRICS alliance. This move signals Algeria's ambition to play a larger role in the global economic landscape and strengthen its ties with the BRICS nations. According to an official at the Algerian Foreign Ministry, the formal application was filed recently, confirming Algeria's commitment to joining the economic bloc.
The application includes a significant commitment from Algeria: a $1.5 billion bid to become a BRICS shareholder. This investment highlights Algeria's financial capacity and its serious intent to contribute to the BRICS Bank and its initiatives. This was revealed by Ennahar TV, a leading Algerian news source.
Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune and the Algerian authorities view BRICS membership as a crucial step in boosting Algeria’s economic growth, which is already considered one of the most exciting in the world. BRICS, uniting Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, offers a platform for developing economies to collaborate and challenge the dominance of Western financial institutions.
Algeria is not alone in its aspiration. A number of other countries are also seeking to join the BRICS economic alliance, making it a highly competitive process. The outcome of Algeria's application remains to be seen, but the formal submission and financial commitment demonstrate Algeria's strong desire to become a member.
This story continues to develop. Stay tuned for further updates on Algeria's BRICS application and the broader implications for the global economy. Initial reports from WORLD, Nov. 08 (YPA), highlighted the submission. Whether Algeria may become a member of BRICS remains an open question, but this formal application marks a significant milestone. Joint website of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the BRICS member States Рус will likely provide updates.
