Putin opens key trade summit
Listen now
Description
Leaders of the ten key BRICS nations gather in the Russian city of Kazan for the annual summit. It began eighteen years ago with Brazil, Russia, India and China. In 2010, South Africa joined. And most recently, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were welcomed. Aiming to create what they believe is a more balanced global economy and reduce reliance on Western financial systems, we look at the impact they have on the global economy. While IMF members are celebrating a slowdown in inflation, festivities are somewhat overshadowed by concerns about rising levels of private and government debt. As its annual conference in Washington DC is getting under way, we hear their outlook for the world’s major economies. And with 13 days to go to the US election – we look at how border countries like Canada are viewing the prospect of a Harris or Trump presidency. Will it affect their livelihoods?
