OT. BRICS etc.

Don't hear much about the marvellous BRICS these days. Or the "Celtic Tigers".

Came across this too.

On the other hand, we plenty about the PIGS. None of it good.

You're way of of date. Jim O'Neill replaced BRICS by MINT some time ago.

Lots of debate about them, but India is still doing quite well - a large cash in hand economy buffered them from the main effects of the banking crisis. China's economy may be slowing, but it is still growing. Brazil needs to get away from being a predominantly domestic market and export more. Its strength has always been in commodities. Better recent weather will also help their important coffee crop, which has been hit by drought.

That should be PIIGS

I am surprised to see Nigeria in there. The four dominant economies of the Next 11 are Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea and Turkey. I would have thought that low oil prices would have had a serious effect on Nigeria's growth.
