Putin expects BRICS New Development Bank to launch projects in 2016
Companies from BRICS member states "are ready to establish joint ventures, build up mutual investment and commodity flows," the Russian president said
UFA, July 9. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday he expected that the New Development Bank, which the BRICS grouping of the world’s five major emerging economies (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) is establishing, will implement its first projects in 2016.
"The new bank with a capital of $100 billion will carry out large-scale development projects in the countries of our association. We expect the first of them to be launched already next year," Putin said at an enlarged meeting of the BRICS leaders.
Companies from BRICS member states "are ready to establish joint ventures, build up mutual investment and commodity flows," the Russian president said.
The Russian president said the BRICS summit should "study in detail the actual issues of the BRICS activity in the economic sphere."
Putin highlighted the indicators evidencing the economic might of the BRICS countries.
Specifically, BRICS accounts for about 30% of global GDP, a third of the world’s industrial output and a half of food production.
"This is a huge consumer market," the Russian president said.
Close economic cooperation gives BRICS countries new opportunities. For example, their internal commodity trade, foreign investment and capital investment are growing. The launch of a pool of foreign exchange reserves is also one of BRICS’ achievements, Putin said.

One more blunder by Brazilian President, Mrs. Rousseff. Following the snubbing of Victory Day parade in Moscow on May 9th, now it is her next visit to Japan next December to stengthen relations. She already sent her Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mauro Vieira, to Tokyo to prepare her visit, which should touch upon matters related to the enlargement of the UNSC permanent members, with both Japan and Brazil as candidates. It is an open secret that China, also a member of BRICS, is against Japan's admission as a permanent member to the UNSC, especially now with the South China Sea imbroglio.

BRICS mutual trade up 70% in 6 yrs – South Africa president
Trade between BRICS countries has increased 70 percent since the group was established in 2009, according to South African President Jacob Zuma. The economies of the five BRICS nations account for almost 30 percent of global GDP.
“BRICS presents an aggregate GDP exceeding $32 trillion. This marks a 60-percent growth since the formation of the grouping," Zuma told reporters on Thursday in Cape Town.
BRICS countries (Russia, Brazil, India, China and South Africa) produce a third of the world’s industrial products and half of all agricultural goods.
They attracted 20.5 percent of total global direct investment in 2014, an increase of 3.5 percent over 5 years.
"The share of BRICS capital investment on the global markets has also increased significantly from 9.7 percent to 14 percent since 2009," Zuma said.
The group is ready to expand its economic cooperation with partners in key areas such as food production, power generation, the petro-chemical industry, mining, tourism, renewable and nuclear energy, trade, transportation, communications and training, according to the South African president.
The seventh BRICS summit, held last month in Russian city Ufa, reaffirmed the importance of BRICS in the global arena, Jacob Zuma said. He added that the summit’s key achievement was the "entry into force of the New Development Bank (NDB) and the Contingent Reserve Arrangement.”
The NDB opened for operations in Shanghai on July 21 with a view to deploying $50 billion in initial capital to fund infrastructure and sustainable development projects. The world’s major banks “see the BRICS bank as an important additional factor in global financial transactions,” said Zuma. The establishment of NDB’s African Regional Centre in Johannesburg is among the group’s plans for the near future, he added.

Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.
Would love to see a lot of other countries join... Indonesia, Singapore, Peru, Chile, Thailand, Malaysia, pretty much any country in Asia, africa, and central and south america... the more the better.

It would just be BRICS then, as South Africa is being accounted as just the S.
The A would be Argentina if India's push for them to join becomes a success. Which I hope is the case (help Argentina get out of their mess as well as get another important country in the mix).

Actually I am praying for Vietnam to be qualified to join them......
Had to re-educate the 10% anti-Russia first, though.

I think anything BRICS related should be put on hold until we get our economic difficulties sorted out. China was supposed to be the backbone of this but they are proving too unstable to back anything right now.

Sudan Eyes BRICS Observer Status to Prevent Western Dominance
Sudan plans to obtain observer status in the group of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa in order to decrease Western dominance over global financial institutions.
CAIRO (Sputnik) – Sudan is seeking observer status in the BRICS group of emerging economies to reduce Western dominance over global financial institutions, the republic’s foreign minister told Sputnik.
"Sudan submitted a request to participate in the activities of the BRICS as an observer, because membership in the group is currently limited," Ibrahim Ghandour said.
Ghandour, who spoke with Sputnik ahead of trilateral talks with the South Sudanese and Russian foreign ministers, said Khartoum also hopes to cooperate with BRICS through its New Development Bank.
"We hope this group will be open, allowing it to become a major global economic union," he underscored.
The Sudanese diplomat is expected to join talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and their South Sudanese counterpart Barnaba Marial Benjamin, at Russia’s invitation, in Moscow on Wednesday. The talks are scheduled to conclude on Friday.
Ghandour said the request to attain observer status in the BRICS group was a reaction to the "form of economic intervention" on the part of Western countries through international financial institutions.
"Therefore, Sudan supports any initiative that would eliminate any such dominance individually or collectively," Ghandour stressed.
In August, Sudanese Finance Ministry Undersecretary Abdel-Rahman Dirar told Sputnik that Khartoum was taking initial steps to join BRICS, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

Oh so Sudan publicly expresses its desire to decrease of Western influence ? Dunno if the West may plan a Maidan here or not.
