Well, this would be something I actually did not expect to happen, if true.
Some many people within the economics world thought that the gold standard was dead for good and gone forever and yet BRICS may be onto something here.
However, I am still skeptical on the capacity of BRICS to globally affect the hegemony of the American Dollar around the world and all the markets, even though a gold backed currency in this decade could be a game changing move, there is still a point of failure which could be the biggest obstacle for a gold backed currency: trust.
Not all of us will believe that BRICS's new currency is fully backed and there would be no easy way to know it, they could try to make the currency 100% redeemable for gold, that would solve the trust problem partially but all this would become a very tempting scenario for counterfeits.

At the time, this idea sounded completely foreign, and I was ridiculed for bringing it up. Today, it just become reality. 41+ countries look like they could be returning to a gold standard.
