ST. PETERSBURG (Sputnik) - BRICS’ New Development Bank (NDB) is interested in enhancing the use of national currencies in settlements to strengthen the markets of the bank's member states, NDB President Dilma Vana Rousseff said on Thursday.
"We would like to increase the number of operations in national currencies to strengthen the markets of the New Development Bank's member states," the official stated at a plenary session of the Russia-Africa Summit in St. Petersburg, adding that such an increase is one of the bank's main priorities.
Developing countries are currently the most vulnerable to unilateral protectionist policies, Rousseff noted.

"The use of sanctions for political purposes or attempts to extend the jurisdiction of a country outside its territory does not solve a single problem, but rather exacerbates the existing ones," the bank president stressed.
