The Top Ten in 2050
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).
