- Experts expect BRICS to make gradual progress on economic cooperation rather than deliver one major summit outcome.
- Former Indian Ambassador DP Srivastava said a strong BRICS message calling for an end to the Ukraine and West Asia conflicts would be a major achievement.
- Eurasia Group's Pramit Pal Chaudhuri expects movement on local-currency payment systems, central bank digital currencies and bilateral economic agreements.
- The India-China reset is a key economic watchpoint, with possible arrangements on investment and export restrictions.
- BRICS is increasingly seen as a broader Global South forum, supported by expansion and interest from Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia.
- The New Development Bank could become more important through flexible lending and financing in non-reserve currencies.
