Deep Tech Long‑Term Financing Model: Assessing the Impact on the Economies of the BRICS Countries
New approaches to organizing financing for technological development in the BRICS countries, according to the study by the Central University with the support of the Ministry of Finance of Russia “Knowledge Is Power Again: How BRICS Countries Can Build Financing for the Technologies of the Future,” are capable of generating a cumulative annual economic effect of up to 2.74 trillion US dollars, which corresponds to approximately 8.8 % of the association’s total GDP. The study states that, given the significant demographic and economic base (more than half of the world’s population and about 42 % of global GDP at PPP), the BRICS potential in creating high‑tech solutions has been only partially realized.

How Can African Countries Settle with Russia? Alternatives to SWIFT
The transformation of Russia’s previous foreign economic model is linked to the need to strengthen its position on the African continent. The intensification of economic cooperation between Russia and African countries requires solving a number of problems, one of which is expanding the use of national currencies in bilateral settlements. Settlements in national currencies are complicated by the fact that the volume of Russian exports to African countries significantly exceeds imports from them. As a result, Russian exporting companies accumulate substantial amounts of low-liquidity African national currencies, while settlements in dollars, euros, or potentially rubles are difficult for African importers.

With My Last Strength, We Walked Toward the Crater. Why the Achievement Mindset No Longer Works
I am lying on black volcanic slag, my arms stretched wide beneath a piercing blue sky. Beneath me is the living warmth of Avachinsky Volcano; before me stands the monumental Koryaksky. While I sip tea and squint in the Kamchatka sun, part of our group, teeth clenched, is climbing the final 700 meters up to the crater. And I refused. That became the strongest decision I’ve ever made.

Less action – more benefit: how to bring order to your plans, belongings, and routes
Any activity we engage in consumes resources—time, energy, money. But not everything we do ultimately benefits us or helps us achieve our goals. That’s why it’s especially important to identify which everyday and work habits are simply draining your resources, exhausting you physically and emotionally.
