The latest projections from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) indicate that the BRICS countries should lead growth among the main global economies by 2025.

India, China and Brazil are among the highlights, while Russia is showing a temporary slowdown, according to the World Economic Outlook report published by the IMF and quoted by "Notícias".

Brazil, for example, projects an advance of 2.3%, maintaining stability after growth of 3.4% in 2024 - a result that exceeds the average for advanced economies.

Russia grew by 4.3% in 2024 and is expected to slow down to 0.9% in 2025, reflecting trade restrictions and fiscal adjustments.

India is in the lead as the fastest-growing economy, with projected growth of 6.4% in 2025, after having already advanced 6.5% in 2024.

The IMF highlights the strength of the domestic market and the consolidation of investments in infrastructure as key factors for this performance.

China, the world's second largest economy, is expected to grow by 4.8% in 2025, slightly above the global average, driven by domestic consumption and industrial stimulus policies, even with Donald Trump's attack policies.

South Africa, another member of the bloc, will see modest growth of 1.0%, in line with recent performance.
