She said at a time when global institutions are facing a crisis of legitimacy and representation, BRICS must lead by example by reinforcing cooperation, advocating reforms, and amplifying the voice of the Global South. The finance minister was participating in the BRICS Finance Minister and Central Bank Governors meeting in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
