Suggestions that the BRICS group of emerging market powers establish their own currency to reduce their reliance on the dollar aren’t under serious consideration and never have been, South Africa’s finance minister said.

“No one has tabled the issue of a BRICS currency, not even in informal meetings,” Enoch Godongwana said in an interview on the sidelines of the bloc’s annual summit in Johannesburg on Thursday. “Setting up a common currency presupposes setting up a central bank, and that presupposes loosing independence on monetary policies, and I don’t think any country is ready for that.”

By way of example, when South Africa trades with neighboring Botswana, which isn’t a BRICS member, “we know the rate of exchange between the two currencies, “ Godongwana said. “There is no reason why we can’t pay them in pula and they pay us in rands.”
