BRICS Economies Set to Outpace G7 Growth by Significant Margin Through 2028

Emerging markets are rewriting global economic rules. The BRICS bloc—now expanded to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, UAE, and others—will see GDP volume growth triple that of G7 nations through 2028, according to projections from the Alliance For Securing Democracy.

While G7 economies lumber forward at 1.3-1.8% annual growth, BRICS members charge ahead with 4.2-5.1% expansion. India leads the pack at 6.2-6.8%, with China maintaining robust 4.5-5.0% growth despite recent headwinds. Even laggard BRICS members like South Africa (1.4-1.7%) match or exceed most G7 performance.

This divergence creates fertile ground for cryptocurrency adoption. As Russia's Deputy Presidential Administration Chief Maxim Oreshkin noted, nine BRICS nations now sustain growth above 2%—a threshold no G7 country currently breaches. The economic rebalancing may accelerate de-dollarization efforts, potentially boosting blockchain-based settlement systems among emerging markets.
