Good news.

But you used the acronym GCC at least sixteen times while never telling me what it stands for.

I can manage the others but never heard of that one.

All too commonplace an oversight.

Walt King,

I, too, think this is good news. Had the same take on GCC. Knew all but that one. Went back in the article thinking I had missed it.

Great article, and I really appreciate the graphics! The doubling of economic growth is huge, and can allow for reinvestment into infrastructure and other projects. Currencies are like electricity, they flow more to places and spaces that have less resistance.

Do you think BRICS can fold in ASEAN/GCC into partner members, or do you think that ASEAN and GCC will remain independent?

We are more on the idea that all these groups will remain independent. More places to discuss, more opportunities to share ideas!
