Check Back in 2050



HSBC's global research department recently released a report that predicts the ranking of world economies forty years from now. According to the researchers, the top thirty economies in 2050 will be:


1) China

2) U.S.

3) India

4) Japan

5) Germany

6) UK

7) Brazil

8) Mexico

9) France

10) Canada

11) Italy

12) Turkey

13) S. Korea

14) Spain

15) Russia

16) Philippines

17) Indonesia

18) Australia

19) Argentina

20) Egypt

21) Malaysia

22) Saudi Arabia

23) Thailand

24) Netherlands

25) Poland

26) Peru

27) Iran

28) Colombia

29) Switzerland

30) Pakistan


HSBC did add one caveat to the analysis stating, "…we assume governments build on their recent progress and remain solely focused on increasing the living standards for their populations. Of course, this maybe an overly glossy way of viewing the world."
