THE BRICS COUNTRIES – A GLOBAL GROWTH POWERHOUSE

Hosted by the Monterey Institute of International Studies and the Monterey Bay International Trade Association

Brazil, Russia, India, China & South Africa, called the BRICS countries, is a political organization that will double in combined economic growth in the next three years totaling an economy of $500 billion.

With the exception of China, these countries are just now beginning to be on the ‘radar screen’ of companies everywhere when deciding where to market their goods and services in the global marketplace. Currently the BRICS countries are responsible for over 50% of global economic growth in the last decade. Discussions are now being conducted on a special new currency for the BRICS countries.

A group of experts from government and the private sector will debate, interact and present their knowledge and perspectives on what are the best methods for successful bilateral trade and investment in the BRICS countries. Best markets, targeted industry sectors, cultural nuances and governmental characteristics pertaining to their respective business communities will be discussed.
