Trader consensus leans against new full BRICS membership in 2026 following the October 2024 Kazan summit, where leaders created a "partner countries" tier for 13 nations—Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Honduras, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, Uzbekistan—rather than advancing full members, signaling a deliberate pace requiring consensus amid divergent priorities. Brazil and India favor gradual expansion to preserve group cohesion, countering Russia's push for rapid growth, while Saudi Arabia's earlier interest remains unresolved without confirmation. No 2026 candidates or timelines have been announced, with the next Rio de Janeiro summit in 2025 as the key upcoming forum that could shift dynamics but faces procedural hurdles.
