Overview
This policy brief provides key recommendations for the proposed commitments for BRICS’ new multilateral and Southern-led development bank.

In addition the Bank should establish mechanisms for: supporting information sharing, accountability and redress; providing leadership on the sustainable development agenda; delivering mechanisms for public consultation and debate; and adopting a truly democratic governance structure.
