BRICS Economies Surpass 40% of Global GDP, Signaling Geoeconomic Shift
The BRICS bloc has crossed a historic threshold, now accounting for 40% of global GDP according to IMF data. Emerging markets are no longer playing catch-up—they’re setting the pace. India, Ethiopia, and China lead this charge with projected 2025 growth rates more than double the United States’ 1.4% forecast.
This isn’t merely an economic milestone but a strategic realignment. The collective 3.4% growth projection for BRICS nations rewrites traditional power dynamics, with tangible implications for commodity markets and dollar-denominated assets. Institutional investors are already rebalancing portfolios to reflect this new reality.
