The BRICS group of the fastest growing emerging economies will create a guarantee fund to increase investment in the member states while lowering financing costs, Reuters reported on Thursday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The New Development Bank-backed fund is modeled on the World Bank's Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), which aims to address global investment shifts spurred by the US economic policy.
The proposed BRICS Multilateral Guarantee (BMG) mechanism has received technical approval from member states and now needs the approval of BRICS finance ministers, one of the sources said.
The initial funding value has not been disclosed, but the New Development Bank is expected to mobilize $5 to $10 in private capital for pre-approved projects for each dollar in guarantees provided by the BRICS bank.
Technical preparations for the creation of the fund are expected to be finalized by the end of 2025, so that pilot projects could receive guarantees in 2026, the news agency reported.
