According to a CITI Financial Services Group report summarized in REDIFF and reproduced below, China should overtake the US to become the largest economy in the world by 2020, then be overtaken by India by 2050.

Following will be the 10 largest economies in the world in 2050:

1. India: $85.97 trillion

2. China: $80.02 trillion

3. United States: $39.07 trillion

4. Indonesia: $13.93 trillion

5. Brazil: $11.58 trillion

6. Nigeria: $9.51 trillion

7. Russia: $7.77 trillion

8. Mexico: $6.57 trillion

9. Japan: $6.48 trillion

10. Egypt: $6.02 trillion.

I don't think this will happen with all the corruption and disasters...
And Nigeria and Indonesia in top 10 ? C'mon.
Hope this brings out a good discussion.

Actually quite some books have been written by economists on this, and most papers carry similar articles almost weekly. Growth in China is decreasing, and India is punching out a decent 7%, though it is also slowing down. But India has a lot of deterrents, which can spoil the show. Let us see. It is not impossible.

Nigeria and Indonesia are both major crude oil sources. *If* they play their cards well, top 10 is not impossible. As for India, something truly revolutionary needs to happen. No, not the Mangal Pandey kind.

India might get to the second position but never the first position. China is sure gonna take that position in near future

Hard to believe, but not impossible. India needs a little more Felix Felicis.

:lol: Still, to believe this, pretty high you must be :wink:

If people could predict financial wold in a half decent way, the recent global collapse would have been less worse. And look at article, its just a mockery.
Actually I'm rather relieved that its only a joke :|
