· Business · Zee News, Moneycontrol
Russian President Vladimir Putin asserted during the BRICS Business Forum in New Delhi that the BRICS bloc represents more than 50% of global economic growth, sharply contrasting this with the G7’s combined share of just 29% of global GDP. The remarks highlight BRICS’ growing economic influence, particularly as the group expands to include new members like Iran, Ethiopia, and Saudi Arabia. Putin’s comments underscore the bloc’s push to challenge Western economic dominance, positioning BRICS as a counterbalance to traditional power structures. The forum in New Delhi marks a strategic moment for BRICS as it seeks to solidify its role in global economic governance. The exact economic figures and projections were not detailed beyond the 29% G7 share and BRICS’ claimed dominance.

This could impact India’s economic policies and its positioning within both BRICS and the broader global economy, particularly as the bloc expands and asserts greater influence.
