BRICS is the acronym for developing countries comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. These five countries, even if they are located in different geographical areas, have one thing in common: economic growth. One might wonder why these countries are growing so quickly than other developing countries. This question will be answered in the document. This article will examine the key factors of economic growth in the above countries. Second, it will explore the reasons for their faster growth than neighboring developing countries.
