The BRICS countries account for 26% of the Earth's territory, 42% of the world's population (2.83 billion people), 27% of the world's GDP (gross national product reaches 18% of the world's national product) and 15% of world trade.
And everything looks beautiful, if only for one nuance..... Noticeably more than 50% of all figures are provided by CHINA. China, which has an EXPORT ORIENTED economy. China, which is now actively losing its western market and which critically needs .... yes, yes, to replace the markets that are "slipping out of their hands", which are becoming the BRICS members. Nothing personal - purely Chinese business
I would like to say separately about Saudi Arabia and UAE. They were counted on (by the BRICS ideologists) as a "joker up their sleeve" that would allow manipulating the oil market "on behalf of the BRICS". But.... these 2 countries form the prices for the key product of their economy 90+% in ...dollars, and they will not change this concept. They sell small amounts of oil for yuan, and only within the framework of bilateral projects, which are very few in these countries.
