BRICS Should Create Joint Resource Reserve Funds: Russian Security Council Secretary

Russia suggests that BRICS member states use the grouping's joint resource reserve funds for mutual assistance, Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, Shoigu participated in a meeting of BRICS high-ranking security officials in India.
"The second Russian proposal is to establish reserves of various resources. This undoubtedly includes hydrocarbons, and of course everything that is of scarce that we faced during the crisis in the Persian Gulf. This envisages of course fertilizers, liquefied natural gas, oil, on top of that medicines, various other things, so that this would be a kind of binding framework so that each BRICS country could count precisely on these reserves. And if it has a situation of this kind, then the BRICS countries will use their reserves," Shoigu told journalists following his visit to India.
He added that the media often report that some country has tapped its strategic oil or LNG reserves, saying that this happens when some country use reserves to regulate prices on the domestic market, to help neighbors, or to "make money at the right place when prices are at their peak."
