On the one side,
there’s logic in that, and the logic is
that they are countries that
have the potential to be very important economies in the world,
More important than the Spanish, Canadian, Italian, etc.
That’s on the one side, right?
Now, what you can’t necessarily accept
is that Brazil, Russia and Mexico on one side
are equal to China and India on the other.
They are completely different dimensions.
Brazil’s population will stabilize
at around 200 million people in about 10 years.
If Brazil already has, I think, are there 188 millions? 180...
it will stabilize in around 200.
Mexico will stabilize in around 120... 125 millions.
Russia’s, with a very low birth-rate
there are no children in Russia, the children there have disappeared,
so, it will stabilize in around 150.
That’s one thing.
But in China and India we’re talking about 1,2...
1,3... 1,4 billion people.
That is, ten times more than Mexico.
Eight times more than Russia.
Six times more than Brazil.
They are different dimensions.
I honestly think that Mexico, Brazil and Russia
don’t affect the global functioning of the economy.
They can affect an area.
Russia, gas,
Brazil, soy beans,
Mexico, oil, or the relation with the US, etc.
But China and India affect everything.
Because they are markets of another dimension.
That is, they are countries which I believe
really can’t be associated
in this way with Russia, Mexico and Brazil.
I think in the end the issue is that
there are two different categories
and China and India do affect
more and more the world evolution of economy,
or the evolution of world economy.
Mexico, Brazil e Russia, don’t.
They do for other reasons, or in specific areas,
but not globally.
