Digital Highways of the Global South: BRICS, DPI & the Architecture of Multipolar Resilience

Digital Highways of the Global South is a strategic intelligence brief that decodes how BRICS is quietly constructing an alternative economic architecture through Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), smart trade systems, and cross-border digital corridors. As geopolitical shocks, sanctions, and supply chain disruptions expose the fragility of Western-centric financial systems, BRICS nations are moving from rhetoric to execution.

This report explores the emergence of the “BRICS Digital Corridor,” integrating digital payments, identity frameworks, blockchain-enabled logistics, and interoperable trade platforms to reduce transaction costs and bypass legacy bottlenecks. It analyses how initiatives such as BRICS Pay, decentralised messaging systems, and DPI-driven customs and certification are transforming trade facilitation, MSME participation, and financial sovereignty across the Global South. The brief also assesses internal frictions, convergence challenges, and scenario-based outcomes that could determine whether this digital shift becomes a stabilising force or a fragmented experiment.

Essential for policymakers, fintech leaders, investors, trade strategists, and geopolitical analysts, this digital product explains why digital infrastructure—not currency alone—will shape the next phase of multipolar competition.
