Nigeria and India will soon finalize a mechanism for settling trade between both nations in local currencies, according to a statement from the Indian Ministry of Commerce.The agreement was reached following a meeting of the Joint Trade Committee in Nigeria's capital, Abuja.Aside from that, the parties intend to improve cooperation and resolve issues related to market access in both countries. In particular, they intend to interact in the fields of pharmaceuticals, energy, crude oil and natural gas trading, agriculture, and the food industry. The nations also plan to establish a unified payment interface.Recently, there have been increasing calls for the liberation of international trade from the hegemony of the US dollar and the transition to trade in national currencies. This movement is led, in particular, by BRICS, of which India is a founding member and which Nigeria wants to join.
