The strategic relevance of the 2026 theme is underscored by key economic indicators: over the past five years, BRICS has accounted for 49% of annual global GDP growth (compared to 18% for the G7), while the bloc’s share of global GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) has reached 40%. The primary objective of the Forum is to translate high-level strategic dialogue into concrete, actionable joint projects.
The business program encompasses digitalization, transport connectivity, standardization, tourism, and finance. Each of these pillars will be addressed in dedicated sessions, culminating in a comprehensive plenary meeting.
