CNBC: From BRIC to BIC: What Happened to Russia?
March 2, 2010
For almost 10 years now, the BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India and China) have been the poster children for growth in emerging markets and potentially big profits for investors.
It started back in 2001 when Goldman Sachs came out with its now-famous report talking about the economic potential of those four countries. The firm concluded that they could well be among the world’s biggest economies by the middle of this century.
However, in talking with global investors and in my recent trip to Davos for the World Economic Forum, I found that people are hardly even talking about Russia anymore. They’ve dropped the ”R“ to the point where it’s become the BIC nations.
If they do talk about Russia, it’s often to refer to it as the “sick country.”
