What is BRICS?

BRICS is an economic group made up of five countries: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. These countries have in common the fact that they have emerging and developing economies, and together they represent around 42% of the world's population and 23% of global GDP. The acronym BRICS was created in 2001 by economist Jim O'Neill, from the investment bank Goldman Sachs, to refer to these countries, which had great potential for economic growth.

BRICS' main objective is to promote cooperation between its members in areas such as trade, investment, technology and culture. Since its creation, the group has sought ways to strengthen its position on the international stage, defending the reform of the global financial system and greater representation of emerging countries in international institutions, such as the IMF and the World Bank. Furthermore, BRICS has promoted increased trade between its members and investment in infrastructure and joint projects.

With the diversification of the world economy, these countries have stood out as major consumers and producers of commodities and as important emerging markets for companies around the world. Thus, cooperation between BRICS members has proven to be fundamental for the economic and social development of these countries, in addition to contributing to the promotion of stability and global cooperation.
