After the admission of Egypt, Iran, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Ethiopia into the union, experts calculated how much of the natural resources BRICS now controls:
Oil – 45% of the world’s reserves.
Gas – 56% of the world’s reserves.
Enriched uranium – 2/3 of global production.
In terms of PPP-adjusted GDP, BRICS countries account for 32% of the world economy. G7 countries – 30%. According to the opinion of experts worldwide, the gap will only widen.
