SouthAfrica.info. 11 April 2011. Retrieved 2 December 2012.〕 The grouping was originally known as "BRIC" before the inclusion of South Africa in 2010. The BRICS members are all developing or newly industrialised countries, but they are distinguished by their large, fast-growing economies and significant influence on regional and global affairs; all five are G-20 members.〔China, Brazil, India and Russia are all deemed to be growth-leading countries by the BBVA: ("BBVA EAGLEs Annual Report (PPT)" ). BBVA Research. 2012. Retrieved 16 April 2012.〕 Since 2009, the BRICS nations have met annually at formal summits. Russia currently holds the chair of the BRICS group, and hosted the group's seventh summit in July 2015. As of 2015, the five BRICS countries represent over 3 billion people, or 42% of the world population; as all five members are in the top 25 of the world by population, and four are in the top 10. The five nations have a combined nominal GDP of US$16.039 trillion, equivalent to approximately 20% of the gross world product, and an estimated US$4 trillion in combined foreign reserves.〔("Amid BRICS' rise and 'Arab Spring', a new global order forms" ). ''Christian Science Monitor''. 18 October 2011. Retrieved 20 October 2011.〕 The BRICS have received both praise and criticism from numerous commentators.〔〔 Bilateral relations among BRICS nations have mainly been conducted on the basis of non-interference, equality, and mutual benefit (win-win).〔("The Sino-Brazilian Principles in a Latin American and BRICS Context: The Case for Comparative Public Budgeting Legal Research" ). Wisconsin International Law Journal. 13 May 2015. Retrieved 6 June 2015.〕 It is estimated that the combined GDP (PPP) of BRICS would reach US$50 trillion mark by 2020. ==History== The term "BRIC" was coined in 2001 by then-chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Jim O'Neill, in his publication ''Building Better Global Economic BRICs''.〔Jim O' Neill (2001). ("Building Better Global Economic BRICs" ). Goldman Sachs. Retrieved 13 February 2015.〕 The foreign ministers of the initial four BRIC states (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) met in New York City in September 2006 at the margins of the General Debate of the UN General Assembly, beginning a series of high-level meetings.〔http://brics6.itamaraty.gov.br/about-brics/information-about-brics〕 A full-scale diplomatic meeting was held in Yekaterinburg, Russia, on 16 June 2009.〔("Cooperation within BRIC" ).
