SCO Summit Pushes De-Dollarized Financial Network

KEY FACTS

  • The 10 member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization held a summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, marking the group's 25th anniversary.
  • The summit issued 27 documents and the Bishkek Declaration, condemning US and Israeli military strikes on Iran.
  • In his UN General Assembly speech, Trump said the United States will not join global AI regulation and called on countries to withdraw from the International Criminal Court.
  • The UN Human Rights Council found there are grounds to believe the United States committed war crimes.
  • Alternative payment networks such as China's CIPS are drawing more attention, as multilateral forces push to weaken the dollar's dominance.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

The SCO has grown from 6 to 10 members, and its collective condemnation of the US and Israel at the summit shows the non-Western bloc is binding financial infrastructure (such as CIPS) to political coordination. For users, cross-border payment options are multiplying, but the risk of bloc fragmentation is also rising, and businesses need to prepare for two systems running in parallel.
