The five countries constitute 40% of the world’s population and accounts 20 % of the gross world product making it a successful idea for developing these economies. P.M. Narendra Modi arrived at Ufa, Russia to attend the 7th BRICS summit. The members will have further discussion on the New Development Bank.

South Africa was inducted in the group in 2010 adding ‘S’ to the name.
