The National Resilience College was honoured to host Associate Professor Dr Ida Mohd Yassin of Putra Business School for an engaging session titled “BRICS and the New Global Economic Order: Challenges and Opportunities.” Her insights unpacked how the expanded BRICS bloc is reshaping global trade, finance and governance norms—issues that directly affect Malaysia’s own quest for economic resilience, diversified markets and strategic partnerships. By examining potential shifts in currency settlements, supply-chain realignments and south-south investment flows, the discussion underscored why Malaysian policymakers, businesses and defence planners must closely track BRICS dynamics to safeguard national interests and seize new growth avenues in an increasingly multipolar world.
