The economic growth is currently low
According to the IMF, the International Monetary Fund, the current economic growth is only three percent. This figure is the worst amount since the financial crisis. According to experts, global tensions are responsible for the slowly advancing economy. Events such as the US-China trade war are having a significant impact on international trade.
China and India are at the forefront
Although China has asserted itself as an important protagonist for international economic growth for many years, the country will probably lose some of its growth and lose its second place in the world rankings to India by 2024. According to current estimates, the USA would then rank third on the list with economic growth of 9.2 percent. All other countries will affect the economy much less. While economic experts put Indonesia in fourth place with 3.7 percent, Russia and Brazil will be 2.0 and 1.8 percent behind.
No significant economic growth in Germany
The top 10 also include Germany, Japan and Turkey, each with a share of 1.6 percent in international economic growth. After all, the economy in Germany is currently stagnating and will currently only grow by a maximum of 0.5 to 1.2 percent per year. This value is relatively low by German standards. This is because Germany will have the second lowest economic growth of all industrialized nations in 2019, after Italy.
These countries occupy the following places
Although the UK was ranked ninth among the countries with the highest economic growth for a long time, this position will also deteriorate in the next few years until 2024. The top 20 countries that will dominate the global economy in the next five years include countries such as Pakistan, Mexico, Egypt, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, France, Malaysia and Thailand. In contrast, countries like Canada, Spain, Vietnam or Poland will probably lose economic growth. As a result, these nations will probably no longer join the list of countries with the greatest economic growth in the near future.
