This should answer those who were wondering
what is happening with BRICS. In their latest summit that was held in Brazil this week the leaders of BRICS nations welcomed a new full member, Indonesia and also welcomed 10 new countries that joined BRICS as partners: Belarus, Bolivia, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Malaysia, Thailand, Cuba, Vietnam, Uganda, and Uzbekistan.
Apparently BRICS now represents roughly half the population and GDP of the entire world

It is true that the BRI CS currently represents half of the world's population and GDP, which shows that the list of countries affiliated with this organization is expanding.Perhaps it is well known that although it initially started with five founding countries, it has gradually grown to 11 full members but right now it appears that 32 more countries are waiting to join BRICS, so maybe it will expand and be able to have a global impact. These potential BRICS countries are now looking for alternative financing opportunities, meaning they want to do this through the New Development Bank and they don't want to rely on the dollar in the various economic sectors that they have.
