Abstract

In 2004, countries in Latin America, Asia and Europe experienced their fastest GDP (gross domestic product) growth rates since the 1970s. Favourable external factors such as reduced global interest rates, high demand from the US and the depreciation of the US dollar against the respective currencies facilitated this growth. Brazil, China, India and Russia, collectively called the BRIC economies, started featuring along with the G-6 nations in terms of the purchasing power parity (PPP), due to their high GDP. It was also estimated that the BRIC''s would outpace the G-6 nations by 2040 and emerge as the global economic powerhouses in the future. This case study, while highlighting the economic growth strategies of the BRIC countries, provides scope for discussion on their growing importance in the global economy.
