UNLOCKING GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES IN EMERGING MARKETS
BRIC, N-11 and MINT: What they mean to your business
In the realm of international business expansion, staying abreast of emerging markets is not just important, it’s paramount. As we navigate the complexities of the contemporary global economy, understanding the significance of acronyms like BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China), N-11 (Next Eleven), and MINT (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, Turkey) can be instrumental in unlocking new growth opportunities for your business.
These acronyms represent dynamic clusters of economies with considerable potential for investment, trade, and market expansion. By familiarising yourself with these acronyms and the economic landscapes they represent, you can gain valuable insights into emerging markets, identify risks and opportunities, and develop tailored strategies to capitalise on their growth potential.
BRIC: Powerhouses of Economic Potential
The BRIC nations, initially coined by economist Jim O’Neill in 2001, represent a collective powerhouse of economic potential. Comprising Brazil, Russia, India, and China, these countries have not only challenged the economic hegemony of the G7 (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US) but have also emerged as key players in the global marketplace. With their impressive growth prospects and substantial populations, BRIC nations offer fertile ground for businesses looking to expand internationally.
In 2010, the BRIC framework expanded to include South Africa, giving rise to the term BRICS. And now, in a strategic move signalling the shifting tides of global trade, BRICS is set to welcome six new member states, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This expansion not only amplifies the group’s economic influence but also presents new opportunities for trade and investment.
N-11: Narratives of Growth and Promise
Beyond BRIC, the Next Eleven (N-11) economies offer a compelling narrative of growth and promise. Coined by Jim O’Neill and Goldman Sachs in 2005, the N-11 comprises 11 emerging markets with significant economic potential. From Bangladesh to Vietnam, these nations boast a combination of macroeconomic stability, technological prowess, and political conditions conducive to growth. It is predicted that the Next Eleven could reach two-thirds of the size of the G7 economies by 2050.
MINT: Noteworthy Emerging Economies
Within the N-11, the MINT countries - Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey - stand out as particularly
noteworthy. With projections placing them among the top 20 economies by 2050, the MINT nations represent a compelling proposition for businesses seeking to capitalise on emerging market opportunities.
