Potential GDP growth and social well-being of BRICS countries through the prism of a new distributed ecosystem of payment and settlement solutions

DOI: 10.33917/es-5.197.2024.32-37

The purpose of this article is to find options for solving the problem of trust in various settlement and payment instruments within the emerging new multipolar world, as well as the problem of managing inflation and pricing processes for the purposes of progressive predictable economic development. In analyzing trends, theories and solutions, methods of description, abstraction, analysis and deduction were used.

An analysis of existing practices in terms of instruments applicable for settlements and payments in international trade is conducted. Aspects of their application for transactions and operations with investment capital, which are currently nominated and processed using centralized monetary instruments, are also touched upon. The result of the study is the proposed concept of the UNIT ecosystem, capable of solving the problems of trust and inflation and, as a consequence, the limitations of existing instruments for settlements, payments and operations with investment capital in international trade.

On the Exogenous Factors of Society Degradation in an Anisotropic Continuum

The paper investigates the causes of large social systems pathology. It is not a spontaneous “system failure” within society, but the result of impact of external non-specific meta-factors that act outside the human ethics and morality — toughly, strongly, efficiently….
