Subsequently, these countries are all seeking to continue the de-dollarization that the economic alliance has firmly instituted.

Moreover, they have made this decision with an eye on increased local currency usage. Although that will certainly affect de-dollarization, it is less prominent than an alternative trade currency.
Although this summit won’t include alternative currency discussions, it doesn’t mean the project will never come to fruition. Reports on a gold-backed trade currency showed that the idea could have some legs. Subsequently, it already has a consumer base ready to increase its prominence.
