The Top 20 Largest Economies in the World (2009)

european union is the biggest organised scam....

The BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.

how would it be in 19th place if we have one of the highest populations? and most buesniesses

i think Japanese culture and our culture similar. very lovely foods, treditions, friendly peoples... (i from Turkey)

Their interest rates and economic performance over the last 10 years do not reflect the amazing influence this small country has on it's asia pacific neighbors. Diligent, disciplined and strategic- a recipe for long term success.

A true powers house to watch since their validation of certain aspects of the capitalist mantra of wealth accumulation for all. Diligent savers of money means they are set to be the lenders of the future, if not already the present... just ask the USA and try not to mention 'loan default'.

Mixed people, embitious immigrants, natural resources will provide a pride future

GDP per capita of South Korea grew from $79 in 1950 to $19,000 in 2009. Korea is largest shipbuilding nation, fourth in auto production, second in electronics, fifth in nuclear energy, and second in construction. South Korea is the future. Very ambitious, hard-working people will no doubt put this country closer to the top someday (they already have, they'll do it again).

If they fix the roads and make foundation/canalization to cities, suburbs, Eliminate Police bribery;would show they are a great country.

BEAST

In 225yrs Australia has grown from a British penal conoly numbering a few thousand to the 13th largest economy. With vast and mostly un tapped natural resources accompanied by skilled work force.A proven safe investment strategy with competitive returns as shown during GFC(continued economic growth).Most viable country to fill the need of food shortages with the land and capability to do so. Australia in 2050 will be Worlds largest exporter of natural resources and food products estimated to have close to a billion people in Asia relying on Australia's food exports annually. Australia's location logistically serves it well to benefit from the Asian century.

A curious redoubt for short term money during trying times. With a GDP of around 1trillion PA and a population of only 20 something million it's hardly an economic juggernaut but it's relatively early days for it yet.

misfit n this list bcose of biggest population below poverty line,and high curruption n govt. and public sector

india is most reliable and young country than china in terms of infrastructre security and man money machinery. It is the country with awesome environment for business. They will be no.1 by 2030.

India is a realy amazing country for business. i never seen that type of business in whole our world.in India all the type of business is running. In USA,Canada,UK,Australia is not like that because in that countries are not a permanent business.its a short term business there. i seen 47 countries including USA,Canada,UK,Australia.I prefer India.

its great we will move upward. we have largest young population in the world

The caste system is not going to create any problem. India's middle class will touch 583 million and will form the word's first largest consumer market.

True but they are sociologically handicapped by their all pervasive caste system that undermines the formation of a large middle class - which some see as an essential ingredient for stable growth.

indian economy is dramatically increasing followed by china

Go on Vietnam

love u vietnam

the best of European

great country to visit,awsome history aswell as future by the looks of it...

young, and hardworking population.

Lovely food, beautiful geography, historical sites and welcoming, friendly people. You can still gaze up at the sky at night and see the galaxy without pollution. Lets just hope that the wastefulness and insincerity of some of the degenerated western european countries do not contaminate the good things in life. (I live in the UK by the way)

this is true man

with young, entrepreneur and crowded population it will be an economic super star.

i think euro region's most hardworking and friendly peoples.. greatings from TR.

UK is an economy built on gold they very cunningly carried with them from countries around the globe duting 17-20th centuries, they were too poor to feed their population in 15-16th centuries AD...

Has historically and will always be the true great global power of the world.

Well . Good to know that the so called Afrircan giant find it self a position in list of the top largest economy of the world. I just hope one day the country will live up to it's potential. And just pray that soon the massive lacuna between the poor and rich will reduce. Maybe the country will dare make use of loads of the wasted generations of its professional living in fear of immigration problems across the globe. Perhaps then the country can celebrate the spirit of possibilties such is enjoy today in the so called top ten world economy.

really this is stupid

i agree

****ing country...

Haven Rahul.You are sadly mistaken.

wht the hell wit this option..!!
