BRICS Brazil 2025

Rebeca Grynspan, Secretary-General of the UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD), met with United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), and several other global leaders during the BRICS+ Summit held in Brazil on July 7, 2025.

The BRICS+ group, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, and Indonesia, represents a powerful coalition of emerging economies. Originally formed as "BRIC" in 2009, the group expanded to include South Africa in 2011 and has continued to grow, reaching ten member countries by 2025. Together, BRICS+ countries account for nearly half of the world’s population and 35% of the global GDP.

 

The summit focused on deepening economic cooperation, promoting the use of the Chinese yuan in international trade, and discussing the potential creation of a common currency to strengthen financial independence from the US dollar.

 

This gathering brought together influential leaders committed to shaping a more balanced global economic order.
