Resumo

The acronym BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China), which later became BRICS with the inclusion of South Africa, was first coined by the Goldman Sachs economist Jim O’Neill. It appeared in a Goldman Sachs paper (Wilson, Puroshothaman, 2003) that aimed to estimate long-term economic growth rates for those countries until 2050. The study concluded that the BRICS could be larger than the G6 in dollar terms by 2040 and a much larger force in the world economy by 2050. This central conclusion was so appealing that the acronym BRICS became better known in global markets than the acronyms of several actual regional economic agreements such as ALADI (Latin American Integration Association), CARICOM (the Caribbean Community) and ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations).
