• SOME FACTS AND FIGURES
Introduction of BRICS
• The term "BRIC" was coined in 2001 by then-chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Jim
O'Neill, in his publication Building Better Global Economic BRICs
• BRICS is the acronym for an association of five major emerging national economies: Brazil, Russia,
India, China and South Africa.
• The BRICS Forum, an independent international organisation encouraging commercial, political and
cultural cooperation between the BRICS nations, was formed in 2011.
• The BRICS members are all developing or newly industrialised countries, but they are distinguished by
their large, fast-growing economies and significant influence on regional and global affairs
• Russia currently holds the chair of the BRICS group, and hosted the group's seventh summit in July
2015.
• Bilateral relations among BRICS nations have mainly been conducted on the basis of non-interference,
equality, and mutual benefit
From ‘BRIC’ to ‘BRICS’
• The grouping was originally known as "BRIC" before the inclusion of South Africa in
2010
• The BRIC became a mechanism through which the countries can exchange opinions, seek
convergence, identify areas of cooperation and influence the international agenda.
• Officially it was admitted as a BRIC nation on 24 December 2010
• With the entrance of South Africa, at the 3rd BRICS Summit, in April 2011, the BRIC became
BRICS, with capital "S".

Why BRICS formed?
BRICS is formed for following two major reasons:
• To be an Alternative to World Bank and IMF to challenge US supremacy.
• To provide Self owned and Self Managed Organisation to carry out
Developmental and Economical Plans in member nations without being
dependent on any foreign agency.This point gets it strength on recent
development in BRICS with the inititative of BRICS Bank.
OBJECTIVE OF BRICS
• To achieve regional development
• The BRICS group also acts as a bridge between developed and developing
countries. For example, in the WTO, the BRICS countries are trying to promote
a fair order regarding agricultural policies.
• The BRICS group will also play an increasingly important role in assisting
developing countries in gaining an advantage in trade and climate change
negotiations
• The BRICS also formed an information-sharing and exchange platform that
expands beyond economic cooperation to also involve educational, cultural,
and environmental engagement.
