Yeah it's weird to see BRICS still being referred today. It was sensible in the mid-2000s when Russia actually had some growth and potential and India was more democratic (or at least not so clearly hostile to critics in business and politics). South Africa's main political party wasn't so clearly incapable of long-term planning. (All of this based on my understanding anyway.)

Today it makes more sense to me to think about Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Vietnam, maybe Thailand and Philippines as the brightest emerging economies.
