Will the 2025 BRICS Summit deliver economic growth, even without expanding its membership further? As the world navigates post-pandemic recovery, grapples with geopolitical challenges, and observes the ascent of emerging markets, the outcomes of the 16th BRICS 28 de sept. de 2025 summit will be crucial in shaping global economic trends. While expansion grabs headlines, the core strategies and collaborative initiatives discussed promise substantial benefits.

Many are focused on the potential expansion of the BRICS group, but the real story may be the internal strengthening and deepening of existing partnerships. The G20 and, potentially, even the G7, are watching closely. The focus on innovation, infrastructure development, and trade facilitation within the current BRICS framework can generate significant economic growth independently of adding new members. The expansion of the BRICS could encourage greater political overtures and financial generosity from the G7 towards emerging markets going forward.

Consider the momentum already achieved. After 13 years without expansion, at its 15th summit held in Johannesburg on 22-, BRICS welcomed four new members into its ranks – Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab. This initial expansion has set the stage for increased trade and investment opportunities within the BRICS nations. The upcoming summit presents an opportunity to consolidate these gains and explore new avenues for cooperation in areas such as digital economy, green technologies, and sustainable development.

Ultimately, the success of the BRICS summit in driving economic growth hinges on the commitment of its members to implement agreed-upon policies and foster a stable and predictable investment climate. Even without further expansion in the immediate future, the existing framework provides a solid foundation for continued progress and prosperity.
