According to NS3.AI, recent data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) indicates that the BRICS nations now account for approximately 40% of the global GDP based on purchasing power parity. In contrast, the G7 countries represent about 28–29% of the global GDP. Furthermore, trade conducted by BRICS countries without using the U.S. dollar surpassed $1 trillion by the end of 2025. This shift highlights the growing economic influence of the BRICS nations on the global stage.
