The role and contribution of the BRICS is significant to the world economy in terms of population (40%), GDP (25% nominal and US$ 16.039 trillion), land coverage (30%), world trade (18%), and global forex (US$ 4 trillion).
Land coverage! Yes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Arica are big. Some of the countries are even important! Too bad they don't agree on anything.
