With GDP (the total of what a country has to offer expressed in monetary terms) data gathered from Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank presented how world influence will shift as we move towards the year 2050.
Based on GDP size, these were the top 10 countries in 2003:
1. USA
2. Japan
3. Germany
4. UK
5. France
6. China
7. Italy
8. Korea
9. India
10. Russia
Now, here are the top 10 countries in 2050 based on projected GDP:
1. China
2. USA
3. India
4. Japan
5. Brazil
6. Russia
7. UK
8. Germany
9. France
10. Italy
This should give a clearer picture on where to invest in as well as why future insurance premiums and retirement fund growth will rely strongly on the "BRIC" region (Brazil, Russia, India, China).

Wow, I never thought that India, Brazil and Russia would get there. Russia on 6th place? Doesn’t make sence to me.

i think Turkiye is also very hot country. It has high percentage of young generations and it is a road to EU. Moreover, last year, Turkiye was the fastest growth country of the world. Maybe we should rename BRIC to BRICT

Turkey is definitely hot and on the rise. A lot of money is flowing into it too, particularly a lot of petro dollars from the Middle East. This is why Turkey is also hot on a symbolical level. Turkey represents a model (well, at least a prototype model)of Islamic-Western synergy that the leaders of the post-9/11 world are studying very closely.
Hey, any advice on how to invest in Turkey (because the bonds are ridiculously expensive)? Please let me know.

Hi, Jason
EasyJet plan to extent their destinations to Antalya and istanbul. Then, huge amouth of Dubai’s investment plan to build huge towers. So, i think Kurtkoy(istanbul) and Alanya, Bodrum (touristic locations) are hot for real estate investment.
Then here are a lot of innovative and market-maker company. Also there is an opportunity to invest or acquire them.

in fact the IQ of people in areas like western india, high caste south population and business community of north india has the highest level of the planet. chinese on the contrary have high IQ only in the coastal region in the east. Both the countries have almost equal population who can think better than most. india lacks the dynamism of the political leadership vis a vis china. but i think in 50 years china will face the same situation japan is facing today.
