BRICS主導の新開発銀行(NDB)が、現地通貨での開発融資を通じてドル・ユーロ依存を減らし、生態系移行を促進する可能性を検討。2016〜2024年のプロジェクトを分析し、持続可能なインフラへの融資は進むが、通貨面では依然として基軸通貨に依存していると指摘。中国と南アフリカのみが自国通貨を活用。多極的な金融システムへの一歩だが、制度改革と政治的コミットメントが必要。
English
This paper examines whether the New Development Bank (NDB), established by BRICS, can reduce dependency on core currencies (USD, EUR) by financing in local currencies, thereby fostering an ecological transition. Analyzing the NDB's project portfolio from 2016 to 2024, it finds that while sustainable infrastructure funding has increased, operations remain largely embedded in dominant currency systems, with only China and South Africa leveraging national currencies. The NDB represents a step toward a multipolar financial system, but systemic change requires institutional reforms and expanded local currency financing.

📄 Abstract(原文)
This paper investigates the role of the New Development Bank (NDB) in challenging global financial hierarchies while fostering an ecological transition. The NDB, established by the BRICS nations, has a mechanism of providing development finance in local currency, which could reduce dependency on core currencies like the dollar (USD) and euro (EUR), offering an alternative for peripheral economies to finance sustainable development. Given the institutionalization of the green economy agenda and the rise of green finance, the paper raises elements to assess whether the NDB effectively contributes to the ecological transition through its investment strategy. The analysis builds on structuralist and dependency theories, identifying three interlinked hierarchies – productive, currency, and environmental – that shape global financial asymmetries. Then, the NDB’s project portfolio from 2016 to 2024 is analysed, focusing on the interplay between the projects’ area of operation, currency of funding, and country of implementation. The findings indicate that, while the NDB has made strides in funding sustainable infrastructure, its operations remain largely embedded within dominant currency systems. Only China and, to a lesser extent, South Africa have successfully leveraged national currencies, whereas other BRICS and partner countries remain heavily reliant on core currencies. Ultimately, while the NDB represents an important step toward a multipolar financial system, its potential to drive systemic change hinges on further institutional reforms, political commitment and expanded local currency financing – which is in line with the funding trends observed in the last years of NDB’s operations.
