Abstract

The paper argues that the outcomes of India's 2026 BRICS Presidency provide a timely opportunity to address this gap. The Jaipur Consensus to Study the Establishment of an Invoice Discounting Mechanism proposes exploring a cross-border digital platform for financing confirmed export invoices, drawing on India's Trade Receivables Discounting System (TReDS) experience. Complementing this, the BRICS Guiding Principles for Credit Assessment Frameworks for Export-Oriented MSMEs promote greater reliance on cashflow and transaction-level information. Implementing these initiatives will require complementary global and domestic reforms to digital trade-finance infrastructure, receivables verification, information sharing, risk assessment and regulatory frameworks.
