REUTERS - Leaders of the BRICS group of emerging market nations pressed Western powers to cede more voting rights at the IMF this year and flayed the rich world's reflationary monetary policies for putting global economic stability in jeopardy.

Below are key points from a statement made by Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa on Thursday after their summit in New Delhi:

ON THE IMF

* There is an urgent need to implement IMF quota reforms before the 2012 annual IMF/World bank meeting in October.
