BRICS: 8 Strongest Currencies That Rule the World
The forex market is dynamic with changes occurring every minute of the day’s trade. BRICS is doing everything to topple the US dollar from the world’s reserve status and replace it with local currencies. Despite their best efforts, the de-dollarization agenda is yet to become a reality as the USD still dominates the financial sector. This puts a major dent in their initiative as the greenback reigns supreme even after multiple attempts to bring it down.

BRICS: 8 Currencies That Dominate the Financial World
Even after BRICS placed local currencies ahead for trade, the US dollar is the most used tender for cross-border transactions. The majority of the world uses it for trade settlements as it sustains the market’s whiplash. The USD does not dramatically head south and is backed by various global economic participants who trust the currency. Below is the list of the top 8 strongest currencies in the world in 2025:
- US dollar
- Kuwaiti dinar
- Bahraini dinar
- Omani rial
- Jordanian dinar
- British pound
- Gibraltar pound
- Cayman Islands dollar

None of the BRICS nation’s currencies have made it to the strongest list in the financial sector in 2025.

Local currencies have barely made their mark in the forex sector leaving the greenback to reign supreme.
