Banks from 22 countries opened special Vostro accounts to settle cross-border transactions in the Indian Rupee and ditch the US dollar. The move comes at a time when BRICS and other developing countries are looking to end reliance on the U.S. dollar and promote native currencies like the Indian Rupee and Chinese Yuan.

Additionally, the development will bolster the usage of the Indian Rupee allowing the currency to strengthen on the international stage. Also, the U.S. dollar will be sidelined in all these transactions giving the BRICS nation a boost in the arm.
