BRICS has expanded to 20 countries - 10 members and 10 partners - after adding Vietnam. BRICS+ now makes up 44% of world GDP (PPP) and 56% of the global population. The US failed to divide China and Vietnam in its Second Cold War.

    An economic block that cuts the west out of deals is a good thing.

    Out of pure and utter curiosity, what’s the percentage without China?

      I don’t know, but this Wikipedia table has population and GDP-PPP columns, so it’s easy to do the math. Note though, that Vietnam is in the subsequent table, because the page hasn’t been updated it yet.

        No. I can strongly say BRICS will never become a reserve currency. It’s nonsense. The euro will take dominance before that group.

          I don’t think BRICS is a currency.

          that’s like saying north America isn’t real because there is no North American currency.

          I can strongly say that, too, because BRICS is explicitly not trying to create a global reserve currency to replace the USD.

          If you don’t understand what BRICS is, then maybe don’t make predictions about it.

            Sounds like you’re agreeing with me now.

      “That thing that’s already over a decade old and already much larger than the G7 in terms of population, landmass, natural resources, and industrial production… Never going to happen.”
