A bigger BRICS, a heavier economy but a harder consensus, explained in charts
SUMMARY
BRICS expansion has increased its economic weight and strengthened its role as a voice of the Global South. However, the growing membership also makes consensus more difficult. Member countries have different political systems, economic interests and foreign-policy priorities. Differences between major members, particularly India and China, can complicate decision-making. Thus, a bigger BRICS may become more influential but harder to coordinate.
