The center of gravity of the global economy is gradually shifting towards new alliances. In the face of the waning influence of Western institutions, another bloc is consolidating its power. Since January 1, 2025, the BRICS have taken a new step by welcoming nine partner states.

Now, the organization represents 51% of the global population and generates 40.4% of global GDP in purchasing power parity.

Global trade is going through a period marked by increasing tensions, where diplomacy and economy intertwine in strategic rivalries. Indeed, China's opening of an anti-dumping investigation into European cognac imports signals a new front in the trade conflict with the European Union. This move, perceived as a direct response to European accusations against Chinese subsidies for electric vehicles, reflects an escalation of economic retaliations between two major powers. Such a case goes beyond a mere trade dispute. It raises fundamental questions about the balance of international exchanges and the role of institutions like the World Trade Organization in arbitrating these disputes in an increasingly complex rivalry context.

The BRICS are ushering in a new economic era with a historic expansion planned for January 2025. This group, which unites some of the largest emerging economies, is set to welcome nine new partners, marking a decisive step in its quest for strengthening its position on the international stage. Such a move comes at a time when geopolitical rivalries are intensifying and traditional alliances are being questioned. Through the extension of their geographical and strategic reach, the BRICS aim to consolidate their influence, but also to provide a credible alternative to Western-dominated economic models. This shift reflects a reorganization of global economic powers, in response to growing demands for a more balanced and multipolar system.
