INDIA - BEST OF THE BRICSThree years ago when India was struggling with slowing growth, a deteriorating macro-economic situation, record high current account deficit and fiscal deficit had triggered a flight of capital. The situation was so gloomy that some analysts even talked of Indonesia replacing India as the "I" in BRICS. Cut to now: Brazil has been facing

some economic challenges and China is battling a growth slowdown. Russia has been significantly affected by the commodities slump and South Africa's economy is flirting with contraction. India, on the other hand, is expected to emerge as the world's fastest growing major economy

THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE BRICS CHAMBER OF

COMMERCE & INDUSTRY, NEW DELHI (INDIA) FOR THE YEAR 2014-15

Presented to the Third Annual General Meeting on

26th September, 2015

Good evening: Esteemed members of the Governing Body, Founder and Life Members, Overseas and

Corporate members and distinguished panel of Senior Advisors, Honorary Advisors and Honored guests.

It is a matter of great honor and privilege for me to address all of you on behalf of the Governing Body of the

BRICS Chamber of Commerce and Industry. I am delighted to welcome all of you to the third Annual General

Meeting of our fast growing non-governmental, non-profit organization which aims to create an enabling

support system for young entrepreneurs across all geographies. I thank all the members for their support

and cooperation in fostering the growth of the Chamber over past 3 years. Through your immense

cooperation we've been successful in creating awareness among the authorities towards serious problems

faced by businessmen engaged in bilateral trade between India and other BRICS countries, also the

problems faced by the billions of common people worldwide.

The year 2014-2015 has been significant as it has been a year with some great successes. On the positive

note, last year, the Chamber had offered an enhanced array of Business and social networking that attracted

greater number of satisfied participants, whose robust participation and continued support is gratefully

accepted and whole-heartedly appreciated. This has helped us in truly becoming the 'voice' of entrepreneurs

across borders, which is one of our fundamental objectives. I would now like to make a brief mention of the

major activities of our Chamber during the period under Report as well as informing new members about the

progress achieved since inception of our organization.

With the blessings and support of our members, together with similar assistance from distinguished

members of the Advisory Council, your organization has entered the fourth year of its journey towards

creating awareness about the fast changing needs and aspirations of emerging economies. It is my proud

privilege, as the Founder Secretary General, to present my third report before this venerable body.

Before I give you details of our activities during the year 2014-15, I would like to briefly walk you through the

major developments of the Chamber that took place in the current year. Our efforts are guided by the

constant desire to encourage extensive participation of young entrepreneurs. Towards that end, we have set

up three Centers this year which we call the 'Centers of Excellence'. They are, Centre for MSMEs, Centre for

Arbitration & Legal Services, and Centre for CSR.

Buddha rightly said, “The farther the source, the longer the stream”. Continuum of growth for any

organization requires its' ultimate goals to be in complete harmony with the welfare of maximum number of

people. This is when people in themselves act as the most valuable source of growth for that organization.

We as a Chamber firmly believe in this principle and therefore our main objective is to promote maximum

good for maximum number. No single entity can prosper in isolation. The strength of a nation, all the more,

lies in its allies and friends. Therefore, efforts to collaborate and cooperate should always be given greater

prominence.

It is being seen as major

countries as well as other developing countries. The bank has a capital of $100 billion and is expected to

be operational by the end of 2015, or early 2016. Membership for the same will be open to all member

countries of the United Nations.

An announcement regarding the four new dialogue

partners was made during the summit. The four countries are Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cambodia and Nepal.

Belarus, a previous dialogue partner, is now formally an observer along with Iran, Mongolia, and

Afghanistan.

There was an official announcement pertaining to the fact that the current

membership [format] of BRICS is an optimal one and all member countries are driven by mutually

accepted national interests. And therefore the Union is in no hurry to expand its membership.

The BRICS countries reiterated their commitment to work in tandem with the International Organizations

such as the WTO and especially within the G20. However, there was insistence on International financial

architecture reform. The Brazilian President, Dilma Rousseff was noted saying that the alliance [BRICS]

must ‘make it a priority to increase representation in international organization, including the IMF.’ The

platform was also used by BRICS leaders to express their disappointment with the United States for not

ratifying the 2010 reforms to the IMF, which “continues to undermine the credibility, legitimacy and

effectiveness of the IMF.”

On the concluding day of

the BRICS/SCO meeting of global leaders the Russian president, Vladimir Putin emphasized the priority

task of improving cooperation in the finance sphere. “The idea of establishing an international project

financing centre on the basis of the SCO inter-bank association seems promising.” said Mr. Putin.

The entry of these countries is expected to enhance the SCO’s ability to counter regional as well as

contemporary challenges thereby boosting its political and economic potential.
