BRICS BAR_ISSUE 8

Dated Published: October 2023

January, in Roman mythology, draws its name from Janus, the deity of doors, thresholds, looking back to the past and forwards, to the future. In this new quarter of 2024, we must acknowledge that BRICS continues to strive towards greater representation, more enriched engagements across the Global South, or global majority, as referred to in some circles.

The BRICS bloc stands at the threshold of even greater relevance, and
this eighth issue of the BRICS Academic Review, evokes this liminality, as the BRICS family of members grows, and continues to grow. Expansion has arrived, and perhaps institutionalization beckons. Our news roundup of key developments [pp 8-16] considers the implications of this expanding BRICS universe for the global economy, the return of the BRICS New Development Bank to the South African bond market, amidst various interesting and relevant developments across the BRICS landscape.
