BRICS
The five developing economies of the globe are collectively known as BRICS. South Africa, Brazil, Russia,
India, and China. Jim O'Neill, who was the CEO of Goldman Sachs at the time, first used the phrase BRIC in
2001. The inaugural BRIC Summit took place in Yekaterinburg, Russia, in 2009. South Africa officially
became a member of the group and the BRICS in 2010. BRICS was not a formal international organization
when it was first recognized, but rather a way to showcase investment potential. National governments have
steadily merged into more logical geopolitical blocs since 2009, convening at official summits every year to
coordinate international strategies. On July 24, 2022, China will host the fourteenth and last BRICS Summit.
Non-interference, equality, and mutual gain are the main tenets of bilateral ties between the BRICS countries..

most developed IMF economy and liberal democracy in the world, and they are formally structured around
the ideas of pluralism and democratic governance. By 2020, G7 nations will control over 50% of the global
economy (over $200 trillion), 32-46% of the global GDP, and 10% of the global population (770 million
people).
