By delaying structural reforms, they have allowed their economies to accumulate risks and imbalances that have eroded their long-term health. In particular, the BRICS suffer from considerable income inequality, with their average Gini coefficient (where zero signifies absolute equality and one is absolute inequality) ranging from 0.37 to 0.50 in 2010-2013.
但是，金砖国家还必须倍加努力。推迟结构改革让它们的经济积累了风险和失衡，破坏了长期健康。特别是，金砖国家面临着巨大的收入不平等，2010—2013年平均基尼系数（零表示绝对平等，一表示绝对不平等）在0.37到0.50之间。
