It is possible that China could become
as big as the US by 2027
India and Russia will individually be larger than
Spain, Canada or Italy by 2020
By 2025 BRICS will be over half the size of the G7
Long-term projections BRICs could account for almost 50% of global equity
markets by 2050
Of the current G7, only the US and Japan may be among the seven largest
economies in US dollar terms in 2050
By 2050, the largest economies in the world (by GDP) may no longer be the
richest (by income per capita)
