"Brics"
Op-ed in liberal Folha de S. Paulo (6-18) by Kenneth Maxwell states:
"....Brics' power is for now more rhetorical than real. Brazil's
economy, even being the 10th largest in the world, reaches only half
of the French economy dimension.....Brics are looking for, above
all, a louder voice in international business. The meeting held in
Russia this week was an important first step to hit this aim."
"The first meeting of the Bric"
Editorial in center-right O Estado de S. Paulo (6-18) notes: "It
lacked issues to give substance to the first Bric summit, for now
only am abbreviation, not a group an even less a bloc....The flags
raised at the meeting were also raised at the last G20
meeting.....[and] are not enough to differentiate Bric countries and
give them an collective identity."
"Limited room for a deal at the Brics meeting"
Editorial in business oriented Valor Econtmico (6-18) says: "The
rapprochement between Brazil, Russia, China and India has few
chances of going beyond preliminaries, as shown by the meeting held
in Yekaterinburg ....In addition to restrict agreements , there is
nothing much these countries, which are more rivals than allies, may
agree on and take [joint] actions."
