We Predicted the BRICS Expansion in 2018. Here’s What Our Model Says is Next. In this deep-dive into BRICS expansion, BRICS expansion 2026, and BRICS enlargement after the BRICS summit 2024, we revisit the original BRICS model prediction developed by Yaroslav Lissovolik at BRICS Plus Analytics and assess what comes next for BRICS new members and BRICS future expansion.
Back in 2018, our framework anticipated the expansion of BRICS through the inclusion of key global south economies such as Indonesia BRICS, Egypt BRICS, Saudi Arabia BRICS, and UAE BRICS. Today, we analyze how those projections materialized and how the logic behind BRICS enlargement continues to shape a multipolar world order. We also explore the rise of the VIBES economies—Vietnam, India, Brazil, UAE—and their performance in emerging markets 2026, supported by IMF growth projections and the latest global GDP growth forecast data.
This episode explains the economic rationale behind expansion, the strategic alignment of regional powers, and how BRICS Plus Analytics evaluates growth trajectories across the global south economies. From Indonesia BRICS integration to Saudi Arabia BRICS participation and UAE BRICS acceleration, we connect institutional change with macroeconomic performance. If you follow think brics analysis, emerging markets strategy, and long-term structural shifts in the multipolar world order, this video provides a data-driven roadmap for BRICS future expansion and beyond.
This video does not provide financial or investment advice related to BRICS expansion 2026, VIBES economies, or any global GDP growth forecast. It does not offer political commentary on internal policies of BRICS new members, nor does it cover confidential diplomatic negotiations from the BRICS summit 2024. While grounded in IMF growth projections and the BRICS model prediction developed by Yaroslav Lissovolik, it does not guarantee outcomes for emerging markets 2026 or future multipolar world order scenarios.
