The Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute will host over top 500 institutional investors finance ministers and business leaders in New Delhi for the founding iBRICS Summit 2026 even as main BRICS summit will bring together leaders of BRICS Member and Partner countries between September 12 and 13.The iBRICS summit is designed to directly connect sovereign capital with bankable infrastructure, energy and digital capacity projects across the 21 BRICS member states and partner nations.The summit comes at a critical juncture as BRICS economies adapt to shifting trade dynamics, US tariff pressures and high dollar-clearing costs.Lakshmi Narayanan, Chairman of SWFI and Lead Co-Chair of iBRICS said for twenty years, cross-border investments within BRICS were discussed politically and executed bilaterally through outside intermediaries.“With tariffs and sanctions stressing traditional corridors, funds and ministries need direct access to allocate capital differently. We are providing that dedicated venue alongside the Leaders’ Summit,” he said.Following RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra’s confirmation of the BRICS payments task force, the summit will feature detailed sessions on linking fast-payment rails like UPI and Pix alongside Central Bank Digital Currencies.Dushyant Khanna, Co-Chair of iBRICS New Delhi 2026 said BRICS countries hold a massive share of world reserves and are building the rails to move capital independently.The September 12 meet will make project owners and global allocators sit down to make that match, he said.Published on September 5, 2026
