India may be third biggest economy by 2030

摘要

Get ready for a new economic order. In the world 15 years from now, the US will be far less dominant, several emerging markets will catapult into prominence, and some of the largest European economies will be slipping behind. That's according to the US Department of Agriculture's latest macroeconomic projections that go out to 2030. The US will just barely remain the global leader, with & 24.8 trillion in annual output the country, worth 25% of the world economy in 2006 and 23% in 2015, will see its share decline to 20%, China's GDP will grow to more than twice its size today, helping the Asian powerhouse to almost entirely close its gap with the US. India, ranked 8th for 2015, will climb past Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Japan to take third place in the world ranking. The International Monetary Fund calls India "the bright spot in the global landscape". The country will have the largest workforce in the world within the next 15 years, the IMF notes, and among the youngest.
