The expression coined by Jim O’Neill in 2001 has emerged to be an international co-operation forum of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. After the 2008 Financial Crisis, BRICS certainly played an important role in contributing to recovery with an increased share of global economic growth. However, many important issues and questions remain.
