The world economy is growing, but it is the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) -- not the U.S. and Europe -- that are leading the way. Indeed, by 2020, all of the BRIC should be in the top 10 largest economies of the world! Although China and India traditionally lead the group, Russia's economy has been buoyed by higher commodity prices in recent months. Publishers and database producers cannot afford to ignore the market opportunities that it offers.
