The Future of the BRICs – Ten Years On

About this event:

Jim O’Neill delivered a keynote address on Outlook for 2012 and beyond. He spoke of the economic might of Brazil, Russia, India and China, reiterating his belief that these countries can no longer be classified as emerging economies. He reflected on the structure of international institutions, acknowledging that the leadership of the IMF and the World Bank will, in the future, have to better reflect the economic and geopolitical importance of the world’s large growth economies.

Mr. O’Neill discussed Goldman Sachs’ Growth Environment Score (GES), noting in particular the high GES of South Korea (7.7), placing it in 4th position of 183 countries. He also highlighted Ireland’s high GES score (7.4), against an EU average of 7.1, expressing his belief that Ireland’s long-term growth prospects may be better than those of all other EU members. 


About the speaker:

Jim O’Neill was appointed chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management in 2010. As chairman, he is involved in helping to guide all aspects of GSAM’s business around the world. Prior to this, he was head of global economics, commodities and strategy research at Goldman Sachs.

Jim earned a degree in economics from Sheffield University in 1978 and a PhD from the University of Surrey in 1982. He received an honorary doctorate from the Institute of Education, University of London, in 2009 for his educational philanthropy.
