Why Trump’s Return Won’t Stop the 5-Nation Alliance’s (BRICS) Meteoric Rise!
The BRICS Alliance: A New $25 Trillion Economic Giant In a groundbreaking development that’s reshaping the global economic landscape, the BRICS alliance has emerged as an unstoppable force, commanding over 31.5% of global GDP when measured in purchasing power parity terms. With 5 founding members now expanding to 10 nations in 2024, the coalition represents over 45% of the world’s population and controls an astounding $380 billion in joint development bank assets. This unprecedented growth trajectory suggests that even potential political headwinds from a Trump presidency in 2025 may have minimal impact on the bloc’s expanding influence.
Why 2025 Could Mark BRICS’s Defining Moment
As the alliance braces for potential changes in the global political landscape, several key factors indicate its resilience. The group’s trade volumes have surged by 56% since 2015, reaching $422 billion in annual intra-BRICS commerce. The recent inclusion of economic powerhouses like Saudi Arabia and the UAE has added an additional $2.5 trillion to the coalition’s combined GDP, creating an even more formidable economic bloc.
Brazilian analyst Jose Juan Sanches’s assessment reinforces this perspective, highlighting that market forces, rather than political pressures, primarily drive BRICS’s growth. The alliance’s strategic initiatives, including over 200 cooperative events under Russia’s chairmanship, demonstrate its commitment to deepening economic integration regardless of external challenges.
The group’s economic foundation appears particularly solid, with member nations controlling approximately 33% of global currency reserves and managing a combined foreign exchange reserve pool of $100 billion. This financial muscle, coupled with the New Development Bank’s growing portfolio of $32.8 billion in approved projects, positions BRICS to weather potential geopolitical storms.
Moreover, the Kazan Declaration, adopted during the recent 36-nation summit, outlines an ambitious agenda for economic cooperation and conflict resolution. While discussions about a shared BRICS currency remain preliminary, the bloc’s focus on practical economic collaboration suggests a pragmatic approach to growth that transcends political considerations.

The numbers tell a compelling story:
BRICS nations collectively account for 40% of global agricultural production, 30% of territorial landmass, and 45% of the world’s workforce. These fundamental strengths, combined with rapidly growing middle-class populations in member countries, indicate that the alliance’s economic trajectory is likely to remain robust, regardless of potential policy shifts in Washington.
As BRICS continues to expand its influence, with 19 additional countries expressing interest in membership, the alliance appears poised to maintain its growth momentum through 2025 and beyond. The combination of diverse economic strengths, strategic partnerships, and institutional frameworks suggests that the bloc’s development will continue to be driven by market fundamentals rather than external political factors.
