BRIC Prospects to 2050

websitebuilder-hub • 22 February 2018

The BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China) continue to exist as an acronym although global appreciation of their differences and the challenges they face has increased alongside a continued fascination with the sheer scale of their economic prospects.

OpenCities director Marc Stephens, who was formerly in charge of the Bank of England's global macroeconomic forecast, and led the establishment of the Mayor of London's office in Beijing in 2005, was commissioned to produce an analysis of the trade and growth prospects of these economic behemoths. 

We reproduce that analysis here and will revisit it from time to time to see how close - or far away - we were from what actually happened!
