BRICS total investable wealth reaches $45 trillion
The bloc’s wealth and influence surge in the global economy.
The BRICS bloc, consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, influence the world stage both economically and demographically, with its total investable wealth estimated at $45 trillion.
According to Dominic Volek, Group Head of Private Clients at Henley & Partners, the millionaire population within these countries is expected to see an 85% increase over the next decade.
Volek explained, "BRICS represents a collective of emerging economies with a substantial impact on the global economic landscape. Their combined GDP constitutes a major portion of the global economy, marked by rapid growth over recent decades."
This growth contributes notably to global economic expansion, with India and China alone comprising nearly 40% of the world's population. Such demographic heft translates into vast consumer markets and labour forces, further enhancing the BRICS bloc's global significance.
"The ongoing rapid economic growth across BRICS nations creates a fertile environment for investments across a broad spectrum of sectors," Volek stated, saying that from technology and consumer goods to infrastructure development, these countries offer diverse avenues for capital allocation.
Addressing how BRICS can enhance its appeal to global capital and talent, Volek suggests leveraging investment migration programs. "Investment migration programs are a proven method for attracting both capital and talent," he remarked.
By offering pathways for wealthy individuals to contribute to their economies, BRICS can further solidify its position as a dynamic force in global economics. Successful implementation of such programs worldwide provides a blueprint for BRICS nations to attract significant foreign direct investment through citizenship or residency by investment schemes.
