SEMARANG, Indonesia : Indonesia has expressed interest in joining the BRICS group of major emerging economies, consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, a move experts believe could have benefits, but repercussions too. Deputy Trade Minister Jerry Sambuaga told reporters on Friday (Aug 18) that joining the group could result in new trade opportunities given the group's diverse geographical locations and massive population. 'The interest is there, the potential is clear, and the opportunity is up for grabs,' said Jerry on the sidelines of the 55th Asean Economic Ministers' (AEM) Meeting in Semarang, Central Java.
