BRICS is Institution for the Future, Ghanaian Civic Leaders Argue
Ghana’s growing engagement with BRICS nations may mark a strategic shift in its global positioning, according to Zing Micah Yinpang Bavi, president of NDC-Russia Proforum.
He told Sputnik Africa that Ghana already conducts extensive trade with BRICS members — including China, India, Brazil and the UAE — and argued that formal partnership could offer stronger investment opportunities, lower barriers to trade, and access to financing without the conditions attached to traditional institutions.
For Bavi, BRICS represents emerging economic power rather than alternative alignment, stating that member and partner countries together "have the largest population in the world, the largest economy, the largest resources and land size."
He believes Ghana should position itself early to benefit from this shift, suggesting that "BRICS will have more value than even the Bretton Woods institutions" in the future.
Ebenezer Yaw Wepari, president of the Association of Compatriots, Ghanaian Community, shared this optimism, describing BRICS as a platform that promotes fairness, sovereignty, and choice for developing countries.
He called its growth "a work in progress" and expressed hope that Ghana will join as a partner or future member.
