UAE highlights potential of deeper trade, investment collaboration between BRICS nations
Rio de Janeiro [Brazil] July 6 (ANI/WAM): The United Arab Emirates, represented by Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of Foreign Trade, has participated in the BRICS Business Forum on the sidelines of the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. During the Forum, Al Zeyoudi highlighted the UAE's strong relationships with BRICS nations and the community's role in driving innovation, accelerating trade and creating opportunities for cross-border investment. Al Zeyoudi also promoted closer collaboration in key sectors, including logistics, agriculture, renewable energy, technology and healthcare. The BRICS Business Forum gathered leaders and business representatives from the community's 10 member nations - Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Egypt, Iran, and the UAE - to exchange views and ideas on how their public and private sectors can work together to navigate the world's current economic and geopolitical climate. The UAE's participation reflects its belief in constructive collaboration and its commitment to pursuing mutually beneficial global partnerships. The Forum resulted in the endorsement of several initiatives aimed at deepening economic cooperation as well as new private sector partnerships that will enhance trade and investment flows. Al Zeyoudi said the Forum provided an important opportunity to engage with a group of like-minded nations undergoing significant economic transformations: 'The BRICS community provides a compelling model for growth in the current economic climate. Each of us are seeking economic growth based on investment, innovation, entrepreneurship and trade relationships free from barriers and bureaucracy. This is how the UAE is building our next chapter of economic development, from attracting FDI and fostering new, technology-driven industries to securing free-trade deals with like-minded nations such as BRICS members India, Indonesia and Russia. We are eager to maximize this relationship to the fullest extent and build upon these strong foundations in vital economic sectors including energy, logistics, technology, healthcare, and food security.' Al Zeyoudi was in Brazil, joined by Saleh Ahmad Salem Alzaraim Al Suwaidi, the UAE's Ambassador to Brazil. The UAE and the BRICS nations have been experiencing robust trade growth. In 2024, they shared non-oil trade worth USD 243 billion, a 10.5 per cent increase on 2023. The momentum has accelerated in 2025, with non-oil trade reaching USD 68.3 billion, a year-on-year growth rate of 18.2 per cent, and 2.4 per cent more than Q4, 2024. The UAE's total non-oil exports to BRICS countries grew to USD 39.4 billion in 2024, nearly double the level from 2019, while re-exports reached USD 50.5 billion. The UAE ranks 14th globally among BRICS trading partners and 5th when measuring internal trade among BRICS nations, behind China, Russia, India and Brazil. The BRICS community, which initially comprised of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa before expanding to 10 nations this year, represents a significant portion of the global economy. It accounts for approximately 40% of the world's population and around 25 per cent of global GDP. The UAE became a member of BRICS in 2024, reflecting its strategic focus on expanding diplomatic and economic ties with markets throughout the world to further enhance its role in driving global economic growth and prosperity.

India becomes fourth ‘most equal' country globally
Inequality in India has come down significantly between 2011-12 and 2022-23, making it the fourth-most equal country globally, according to a World Bank report. This is in addition to a sharp decrease in extreme poverty, which has dropped from 16.2% in 2011-12 to 2.3% in 2022-23, an official release said, quoting World Bank data. The government attributed the reduction in inequality to various initiatives and schemes pursued during the past decade. The only three countries that have a better Gini Index score, a measure of equality, are the Slovak Republic, Slovenia and Belarus. India is much better placed than countries like China, the United States and the United Kingdom. '...India's Gini Index stands at 25.5, making it the fourth most equal country in the world, after the Slovak Republic, Slovenia and Belarus,' the statement said. The Gini Index helps in understanding how equally income, wealth or consumption is distributed across households or individuals in a country. It ranges in value from 0 to 100. A score of 0 means perfect equality, while a score of 100 means one person has all the income, wealth or consumption and others have none, hence absolute inequality. The higher the Gini Index, the more unequal a country is. India's score is much lower than China's 35.7 and far lower than the United States, which stands at 41.8. As per the World Bank's report, which has released the data for 167 countries, India falls into the 'moderately low' inequality category, which includes Gini scores between 25 and 30. India is only a fraction away from joining the 'low inequality' group. Reduction in poverty a factor The government attributed this achievement to a sharp reduction in the poverty level in the last decade. According to the World Bank report, 171 million Indians have been lifted out of extreme poverty over the past decade. The share of people living on less than USD 2.15 a day, which was the global threshold for extreme poverty till June 2025, fell sharply from 16.2% in 2011-12 to just 2.3% in 2022-23. Globally, just 30 countries fall into the 'moderately low' inequality category, including several European countries with strong welfare systems. These include Iceland, Norway, Finland, and Belgium. It also features growing economies like Poland and wealthy nations like the United Arab Emirates. The release said India's journey towards a more equal society is reflected in its Gini Index over the years. The index was measured at 28.8 in 2011 and reached 25.5 in 2022. 'This steady shift shows that India has made consistent progress in combining economic growth with social equity,' it said. Welfare schemes It further said India's progress towards greater income equality is backed by a series of focused government initiatives. These schemes aim to improve financial access, deliver welfare benefits efficiently, and support vulnerable and underrepresented groups. 'Together, they have helped bridge gaps, boost livelihoods, and ensure that growth reaches all sections of society,' the release said. It has cited schemes like PM Jan Dhan Yojana, Direct Benefit Transfer, and Stand-Up India, among others, which have helped India in its progress towards greater income equality. 'India's path to income equality has been steady and focused. The Gini Index of 25.5 is not just a number. It reflects real change in people's lives. More families now have access to food, banking, healthcare, and jobs,' the release said. What sets India apart is its ability to balance economic reform with strong social protection, it said. Targeted schemes like Jan Dhan, DBT, and Ayushman Bharat have helped close long-standing gaps,' it said. At the same time, programmes such as Stand-Up India and PM Vishwakarma Yojana are helping people create wealth and secure livelihoods on their own terms. 'As the world looks for models that combine growth with fairness, India's example stands out. Its experience shows that equality and development are not separate goals,' the release said. When supported by sound policy and inclusive intent, they move forward together, it added.
