The term BRIC was originally coined by Jim O'Neil in 2001 to designate the group of emerging markets. The first summit took place in 2009 featured the founding countries of Brazil, Russia, India, and China, where they adopted the acronym BRIC and formed an informal diplomatic club where their governments could meet annually at formal summits and coordinate multilateral policies. In 2010, South Africa was admitted & the organisation adopted the name BRICS.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Gemini_Generated_Image_4nj1kt4nj1kt4nj1-1024x559.png"}
