Bob: Dawn, Dave, thanks for coming to this meeting to talk about something that I think is very important.
Dave: It’s good to be here
Dawn: I agree, these are important issues.
Bob: Can you both fill me in on developments in the BRIC countries? Dawn, you first.
Dawn: Here we’re talking about Brazil, Russia, India and China. John O’Neill of Goldmann Sachs in London recently wrote an influential report on the future of these four countries.
Bob: What were the key messages of the report?
Dawn: What’s common knowledge that the economies of all four countries are developing at incredible speed at the moment.
Dave: Yes, Russia has become a major player on the world’s energy markets, India’s IT companies are now recruiting amongst the best of the west’s IT graduates, Chinese industry is quickly moving upwards in the value chain away from low value goods to higher end products such as cars, car parts, electronic and computer components, just as Japan did in the fifties. We’re now waiting for Chinese brands to go global as Fuji, Sony and the like did from Japan.
Dawn: Brazil is now a major supplier of industrial raw materials to China. China is investing heavily to improve Brazil’s transport infrastructure to facilitate the rapid export of these goods. China is buying increasing amounts of food from Brazil.
