BRICS has expanded to 20 countries - 10 members and 10 partners - after adding Vietnam. BRICS+ now makes up 44% of world GDP (PPP) and 56% of the global population. The US failed to divide China and Vietnam in its Second Cold War.

      “That thing that’s already over a decade old and already much larger than the G7 in terms of population, landmass, natural resources, and industrial production… Never going to happen.”

        No. I can strongly say BRICS will never become a reserve currency. It’s nonsense. The euro will take dominance before that group.

          I can strongly say that, too, because BRICS is explicitly not trying to create a global reserve currency to replace the USD.

          If you don’t understand what BRICS is, then maybe don’t make predictions about it.

            Sounds like you’re agreeing with me now.

          I don’t think BRICS is a currency.

          that’s like saying north America isn’t real because there is no North American currency.
