Look, I think officially it's another working session between bureaucrats talking about economic cooperation. Unofficially, though, the BRICS leadership are expected to announce major advancements, essentially in a shadow financial system, a 21st century alternative to the existing dollar-denominated system.

Inside sources are hinting now at a coordinated push to link the various systems that they've created over the last decade, things like Enbridge and Brixpay and commodity settled trade with the goal of making dollar free international transactions possible at scale.
