Specifically, the plan is set to see the three main BRICS countries speak to Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and various African nations to make the switch.

Especially because of its connection to the US, and the massive vitality of the overall oil industry.
Conversely, Pakistan has shown an interest in eventually joining the economic alliance. Many expect expansion to remain a fixture for the bloc, with the nation seeking to be included. Its interest in advancing local currencies over the US dollar could present it with a clear leg up against the competition.
