ABSTRACT:

The main purpose of this research is to analyze the evolution of direct productive investments in the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) and the investment cooperation of the group. The role of the BRICS economies in the political and economic spheres is growing, as they are currently the largest emerging economies and have achieved astonishing economic growth. Direct investment in production in the BRICS countries is an important factor in promoting the growth and development of member countries and promoting global economic integration.Strengthening the investment links of the BRICS group increases the level of trust between member countries, opening up new opportunities for cooperation. Trade and investment links between the BRICS economies create a synergy of development and growth by strengthening their position in the global economy and helping to solve domestic economic and social problems.
