In order to match the huge infra deficit across various infra segments in the country, the Indian government has targeted to invest an estimated sum of Rs.43 trillion ($646 billion) over the next five years, Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley said, elaborating that 70% of which will be required in the Power, Roads, and Urban Infrastructure sectors. The five member countries of BRICS (Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa) are the emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs), the overall growth is picking up, although growth prospects diverge across countries. Most importantly, the EMDEs need to carry out this huge investment in a sustainable manner. The established MDBs are now capital constrained, and with their overall emphasis on processes, are unable to meet this financing challenge. A Bank like the New Development Bank (NDB) is well poised to step into the void, he said this while addressing delegates from the BRICS countries. Chinese Finance Minister, Xiao Jie speaking at the event said that BRICS countries should work towards reforming the global economic system since voice of the emerging economies that contribute 80% of global growth remains gravely inadequate in multilateral institutions.
