Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>South Africa\u2019s representative to BRICS Ambassador Anil Sooklal has hinted that the grouping is set to grow bigger this year with more than 30 countries having formally and informally applied to join the alliance.<\/p>\n

The latest report indicates that the countries ready to join the BRICS alliance are Afghanistan, Algeria, Argentina, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sudan, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Uruguay, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

The development will come as a blow to the United States of America and other Western nations, which will see their GDPs dwindle to that of the BRICS.<\/p>\n

Market watchers believe the move by Zimbabwe is aimed at neutralising an insatiable appetite for the US$ among its citizens, a development which authorities blame for continued economic shocks.<\/p>\n

BRICS is an acronym for the powerful grouping of the world\u2019s leading emerging market economies, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The BRICS mechanism aims to promote peace, security, development and cooperation.<\/p>\n

Plans by the community to replace the US$ in international trade are set to reach a new high when discussions on the feasibility of introducing a common currency take place at a summit to be held in South Africa later this year.<\/p>\n
