This market will resolve to "Yes" if a new country accepts an invitation to join BRICS between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Only new member states, not new partner states, will be considered toward this market's resolution. The primary resolution source for this country will be information from BRICS members (e.g., https://brics.br/en/about-the-brics, etc.); however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.BRICS completed its most recent round of full-member enlargement with Indonesia’s accession in January 2025, bringing the group to eleven members, and simultaneously established a formal partner-country tier now encompassing ten nations. In May 2026, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov publicly stated that members had agreed to proceed cautiously and avoid rushed additions while focusing on institutional consolidation after the rapid intake. India’s 2026 chairmanship has prioritized operationalizing shared financial infrastructure, multilateral coordination, and integration of existing partners over new full-member admissions. With the next leaders’ summit scheduled for September and no invitations or consensus announcements for additional full members, traders assign an 86.5% probability to no new accession occurring this year.
