Need to make BRICS and travel ahead
Western countries dominated the world’s economy after the fall of the Soviet Union and in the early 2000s. America’s dollars and international institutions such as International Monetary Fund (IMF) made decisions.
Russia, India, China and Brazil came together to reduce this American dominance, which later became BRICS. The purpose of these countries was to strengthen the voice of global South i.e. developing and poor countries.
In 2008-2009 when the western countries were going through an economic crisis. Then the economy of BRICS countries was moving rapidly.
Prior to the economic crisis, western countries were controlling 60% to 80% of the world’s economy, but the economic growth of BRICS countries in the recession showed that they had the ability to grow rapidly and compete with Western countries.
In a meeting held in Yakaterinburgh, Russia in 2009, BRICS countries conceived the multipler world, a multi -polar world, where the economic hold of western countries is weak and all countries get equal rights.
In 2014, BRICs took a big step and created a New Development Bank, which funds for infrastructure. Along with this, a reserve fund was also created so that these countries do not have to depend on the US dollars during the economic crisis.
