Abstract
In order to present the impact of the 2008 global financial crisis, this chapter will graphically compare the real GDP growth, total general government debt, unemployment rate, and consumer price inflation of the six countries from 2005 to 2010. Then, the chapter will elaborate qualitatively on the impact of the financial crisis on each country’s economy individually in the sequence of Brazil, Russia, India, China, Korea, and South Africa (BRICKS).
