Brics

Expansion is Speeding Up!

Rejection of U.S. Dollar

Inflation will Remain!

BRICS Is Growing: Indonesia Became a Full Member in January 2025 The extended bloc represents 41% of Global GDP (PPP) and nearly half of world population Lena Petrova Jan 9 2025 BRICS includes Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, India, China, Brazil, South Africa and Indonesia. Saudi Arabia has not officially moved forward with its membership.  The extended economic alliance makes up half the world population and 41.4 percent of global GDP (PPP). From the perspective of Jakarta, what remains to be seen is if it can still maintain its friendship with the West while facilitating stronger ties with the global majority. This year is promising to be quite eventful as more than 30 countries have formally submitted applications to become full members. Among them are Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Malaysia. Although Turkey's and Azerbaijani memberships are likely not in the cards this year, it appears that Malaysia would be a logical next step towards the BRICS expansion in the region and beyond. DYI:  To stop the expansion of Brics and stop U.S. dollar inflation all that is required is for the American government to reduce spending creating budget surpluses 2% to 3% of our GDP.  This will have to be for years to prove that the U.S. is serious in getting its economic house in order.  But alas so far as I see there's ZERO effort or desire from Presidents nor Congressmen!  Therefore expect continuing inflation and higher interest rates as we move through growth and recession with higher highs and higher lows!  Smart Money - Buys Aggressively!
