From 2000 to 2023, the BRICS+ group's share of global merchandise exports has risen from 10.7% to 23.3%, marking an impressive increase of 12.6 percentage points.
In contrast, the G7's share has seen a notable decline, dropping from 45.1% to 28.9%. Meanwhile, the rest of the world has maintained a relatively stable share, increasing slightly from 44.2% to 47.9%.
G7 is a grouping of advanced economies — the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
