Recent strategic agreements have brought the Global South into the spotlight. In this CIO Special we explain their specific impact on Asia. 

From January 1, 2024, the five founding members of the BRICS – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – will be joined by six additional members: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia and Argentina. Together, they will form an extended group, the BRICS+.

 

The Global South refers to developing and underdeveloped global economies, not all of which are in the southern hemisphere. In terms of GDP, China and India are the leading countries in this group. 

  • The expanded BRICS+ will control a greater share of mineral resources, with implications for supply chains.
  • Also important is the African Union’s recently agreed membership of the G20 and the proposed India-Middle East-Europe transport corridor (IMEC).
  • These developments will become an important pillar for growth and transformation in Asia, particularly assisting China and India.

In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved. Forecasts are based on assumptions, estimates, opinions and hypothetical models which may prove to be incorrect. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. Performance refers to a nominal value based on price gains/losses and does not take into account inflation. Inflation will have a negative impact on the purchasing power of this nominal monetary value. Depending on the current level of inflation, this may lead to a real loss in value, even if the nominal performance of the investment is positive. Investments come with risk. The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and you might not get back the amount originally invested at any point in time. Your capital may be at risk.
