Introduction
❖ Founded in 2006.
❖ Founding members were Brazil, Russia and China.
❖ BRIC is an acronym for the economic bloc of countries consisting of Brazil, Russia, India,
and China.
❖ In 2010, South Africa joined the BRIC group.
❖ Economists believe these four nations will become dominant suppliers of manufactured
goods, services, and raw material by 2050 due to low labor and production costs.
❖ Critics argue that the nations' raw materials are limitless and the growth models ignore the
finite nature of fossil fuels, uranium, and other critical and heavily used resources.
BRIC's Growth in Global Dominance
❖ In 1990, BRIC countries accounted for 11% of global gross domestic product (GDP).
❖ By 2014, this figure rose to nearly 30%.
❖ BRIC countries have not announced formal trade agreements, but leaders regularly attend
summits together and often act in concert with one another's interests.
❖ Latest summit was hosted by Russia.

Sachs economist, and today, nearly fifteen years later, BRICS is considered as a new
international platform with a possibly increasing importance at the international stage.
Besides, other countries have declared their interest to become a BRICS member such as Turkey
and Indonesia.
