Interesting how much the economic powers of individual countries actually differ. When I look at the global GDP from last year, the USA still dominates with nearly $29 trillion, but China has already reached $18.5 trillion. The gap is still huge, but the trend is clear.

Europe obviously has its heavy hitters — Germany, France, and Britain together hold almost $11 trillion. Interestingly, when we look at the list of countries by GDP per capita, it looks completely different. Switzerland and Norway should have a completely different ranking than based on total GDP.

Asian economies are growing interestingly — India has already surpassed Britain, Japan still holds the fourth position. Brazil, Mexico, and Australia maintain their spots. And then there are the smaller but wealthy economies like Singapore or the UAE, which have excellent numbers. Overall, it seems that the global economic map is slowly being rewritten, mainly due to the growth of Asian countries.
