EBS London 2007 International Lecture

Brazil: Economic Perspectives in the 21st Century

Wednesday 9th May at 6.30pm in Tuke Hall

Goldman Sachs Global Economist, Jim O'Neill in his 2003 report Dreaming with BRICS: The Path to 2050, predicts the economic potential of Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) will become the four most dominant economies by the year 2050.

This would result in the BRIC economies encompassing 40% of the world population with a combined GDP of 14.951 trillion US dollars. With economists predicting both China and India's growth rates hitting double figures during 2007, how can Brazil compete as an emerging economy with an average growth rate of 3%?
