Brazil’s Lula says BRICS integration helps counter protectionism Investing.com -- Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva stated on Monday that trade and financial integration among BRICS nations serves as a buffer against protectionist policies. "Tariff blackmail is being normalized as a tool for conquering markets and interfering in domestic issues," Lula said, according to remarks published by the Brazilian government. The president did not specifically mention the United States in his comments. This statement follows Lula’s interview with Reuters in August, where he indicated he planned to discuss President Donald Trump’s tariffs with other members of the BRICS group, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, along with newer members.

Ministers to finalise SADC fund plans Justicia Shipena The Southern African Development Community (SADC) ministers of finance will meet in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, this month for discussions on financial market development and regional economic integration. The high-level meetings, scheduled for 12–13 June 2025, will bring together the Committee of Ministers of Finance and Investment and the Peer Review Panel. The ministers will review progress on regional financial initiatives, including updates on macroeconomic convergence targets that are central to SADC’s strategy for maintaining macroeconomic stability across member states. Key agenda items include strengthening the integrity and resilience of financial systems within SADC and developing strategies to sustainably finance regional infrastructure projects through development finance mechanisms. The Peer Review Panel, which consists of finance ministers and central bank governors, will assess regional economic conditions, evaluate member states’ economic performance, and consider peer review reports for Angola, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Committee of Ministers of Finance and Investment will also deliberate on several key issues. These include the operationalisation of the SADC Regional Development Fund, project preparation and development, anti-money laundering and combating terrorism financing (AML/CFT), the status of SADC protocols and legal instruments, cross-border third-party motor vehicle insurance schemes, and membership in the Committee of Insurance, Securities, and Non-Banking Authorities (CISNA). Meanwhile, the Peer Review Panel will decide on the Macroeconomic Convergence Peer Review Mechanism process, review the 2024 annual performance of the convergence programme, and evaluate the implementation of past decisions. The panel will also discuss the impact of global geopolitical developments on the SADC region. Ahead of the main meetings, SADC Senior Treasury Officials from finance ministries will meet on 9 June. This will be followed by a joint meeting with Central Bank officials on 10 June. The outcomes of the meetings are expected to shape future policy directions and strengthen regional cooperation in pursuit of shared economic growth and financial stability.

ASEAN unveils strategic plan to integrate its economies By Danial Azhar, Ashley Tang KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) -The Southeast Asian bloc ASEAN on Tuesday announced an ambitious strategic plan that includes harmonising trade standards and greater financial integration in an effort to collectively become the world’s fourth-largest economy. The five-year, 41-page plan for the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations, released during a leaders’ summit in Malaysia, calls for increased regional trade, freer movement of businesses and people, enhanced transparency and regulatory practices and sustainable mining, industry and farming policies to attract foreign investment. The plan said ASEAN countries - Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Singapore, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Brunei - must deepen their economic integration, pursue energy security, boost transport connectivity and strengthen supply chains. "Carrying on with business as usual will not suffice for this highly dynamic economic region," the plan said. "For ASEAN to become the fourth-largest global economy by 2045, countries in the region will need to deepen their economic integration and enhance their agility to address multifaceted challenges." The document identified several challenges for ASEAN’s economic integration ranging from geopolitical tensions, shifting trade flows and technological transformation to climate change impacts and demographic shifts. Formed in 1967 initially as five members, ASEAN established an economic community in 2015 with the aim of integrating its economies and boosting the region’s global standing. But despite rapid growth of its members economies in recent years and a collective GDP of $3.8 trillion, integration has been slow, with huge differences in its members’ economies, political systems, population sizes and development levels, and no central authority to ensure compliance with ASEAN agreements and initiatives. The strategic plan said ASEAN’s Economic Community Council would be be responsible for implementing the strategies while the ASEAN secretariat would monitor implementation. The ongoing tariff war between the United States and China and steep U.S. tariffs on Southeast Asian countries has created urgency for ASEAN to move towards regional integration faster, said Tricia Yeoh, Associate Professor of Practice at the University of Nottingham Malaysia. “ASEAN needs to demonstrate efficacy in order for it to remain relevant. If they can’t even achieve negotiating over Myanmar or the code of conduct with China on the maritime issue, people will question ASEAN’s purpose,” she said, referring to two thorny political issues within the bloc.
