BRICS is a global community of countries that share common views of economic development and global affairs based on mutual respect and balance.
While BRICS is not a military or political bloc, its participants do share values, interests and strategic projects, making it an increasingly attractive conduit for global cooperation.
As a result, participation of new countries in BRICS is growing rapidly. As of 2025 the BRICS community (members, partners and candidates) account for 51% of global GDP (by PPP) and 63% of global population.
BRICS global share has grown and will continue to grow rapidly in the coming decades.
