BRIC countries



BRICS

The acronym was prominently used by Jim O'Neill of Goldman Sachs in 2001. According to a paper published in 2005, Mexico and South Korea are theonly other countries comparable to the BRICs, but their economies wereexcluded initially because they were considered already more developed.Goldman Sachs argued that, since they are developing rapidly, by 2050 thecombined economies of the BRICs could eclipse the combined economies

of the current richest countries of the world.The four countries, combined, currently account for more than a quarter of the

world's land area and more than 40% of the world's population. GoldmanSachs did not argue that the BRICs would organize themselves into aneconomic bloc, or a formal trading association, as the European Union hasdone. However, there are some indications that the "four BRIC countrieshave been seeking to form a 'political club' or 'alliance'", and therebyconverting "their growing economic power into greater geopolitical clout".

On June 16, 2009, the leaders of the BRIC countries held their first summit inYekaterinburg, and issued a declaration calling for the establishment of amultipolar world order.
