About BRICS Business Magazine

BRICS Business Magazine is a bookazine —

a book-like magazine – addressed to global investors, businessmen, politicians, and experts.


A business and humanitarian publication on rapid-growth markets, it is issued four times a year and explains how to understand others.


The goal of this project is to organize a direct information exchange between the BRICS countries and other emerging markets.


We define a bookazine as a thick magazine with complex printing which is designed for slow reading and filled not in accordance with a constant set of sections, but rather in accordance with the topics chosen. Our bookazine includes (with occasional exceptions) three main kinds of data:

  • essays and columns that would fit into “Opinions” or “Recommendations” sections
  • indices, ratings, and rankings
  • business cases

Industry and event projects as well as investment guides are featured as special add-ons.
