    Over the next 50 years, changes in the relative performance, scale, and scope of the world’s economies will be dramatic. Most notably, data indicate that the combined economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China—the so-called BRICs—should surpass those of the G7 nations by 2050 [see Fig. 4.5]. In fact, of the original G7 nations, only Japan and the United States will still rank among the world’s largest economies at that time. Thus, managers need to rethink their traditional views of the economic environment as they encounter fundamental shifts in investment and spending, increasing competition for inputs in the world’s commodity markets, and the rapid growth of consumer markets in many transition economies. Other significant impacts loom as the leaders of the BRIC nations seek to collectively develop their economies and political presence through the creation of a multilateral alliance amongst themselves. No matter what the outcome, the fallout will be momentous as the world’s emerging economies come into their own.…

The response was a slew of Domestic and external sector policy measures partly prompted by the immediate needs and partly by the demand of the multilateral organizations.

    As per statistics of World Gold Council, in 1998 India imported 614 Metric Tons of gold through official channels and almost 100 MT through unofficial channels. This amounts to a sum of about 6.75 billion US dollars or about 300 billion Indian Rupees. The combined production of gold from all the gold mines in the world was 2555 MT in 1998. Twenty Eight percent of the total world production was purchased by a country that has a balance of payments problem and can be often seen presenting its case for aid or loan or investment at some world forum or the other. India's expenditure on gold imports is - about twenty percent of its total imports ; about 145% of foreign investment in the country ; about 425% of Indian Central Government's expenditure on education ; about 63% of the country's defence budget. It is interesting to note that in 1998 the total net inflow on account of foreign aid, investment and loan into India was approximately equal to the outflow from India on account of gold imports. It is no exaggeration to say that in the unlikely event that India can completely stop its import of gold (official and unofficial imports), the country will need no aid or loan or investment from any foreign source.…
