Today, I received an interesting article from CFA Institute on my email.The article discusses the recent poll conducted among the readers of CFA Institute Financial NewsBrief. Here are the results of the poll: (Source: CFA Institute) Here are the GDP growth rates expected for some of the above economies: - USA: 2.6% in 2016 - roughly unchanged from the current year; - China: 7.0% in 2016 - totals to a ~$700B contribution to the world's output; - India: 7.6% in 2016 - the highest expected growth rates among the countries on the poll. Interesting facts: it will take India about 300 years to catch up with the US economy, assuming the current growth rates stay constant. Just to remind, India's GDP is currently at $2T, while the US's is at $18T. It will take a thousand years to keep up with China, ceteris paribus.
