The ministers highlighted the network as a key initiative to enhance financial co-operation and knowledge-sharing among Brics countries in areas like financial policy, macroeconomic stability, and sustainable development.

This network will serve as a platform for collaboration on key financial issues, bringing together experts and policymakers from member countries to exchange knowledge, analyse challenges, and develop common strategies.

The network will also focus on areas such as financial integration, cross-border payments, infrastructure financing, and monetary policy co-ordination.

It will emphasise sustainable development, and work to enhance financial systems that can support green investments and other environmentally sustainable initiatives​.
