Who will have the world's most powerful economy in 2030?
PricewaterhouseCoopers has just released a report titled “The long view: how will the global economic order change by 2050?”
The report give a fascinating look at what the world order will look like in the not-too-distant-future. The ranking is based on a metric called purchasing power parity, or PPP. According to the World Economic Forum, PPP “is used by macroeconomists to determine the economic productivity and standards of living among countries across a certain time period.”
Tell us, do you think this ranking is an accurate prediction? And what do economic powerhouses like China and the U.S. need to do to stay atop this list?

      Now Singapore per capita income is $48,000 per annum. With 5.6 million people, the Economy is about $269 billion. 
    • To achieve a trillion dollar Economy, the 5.6 million people need to achieve per capita income of $179,000 per annum. By World standard, no Country in the World can achieve such capita per income.

        The top capita per income per annum are :- 
      • Luxemborg - $106,000 per annum 
      • Norway - $89,000 per annum 
      • Switzerland - $75,000 per annum 
      • Singapore- $48,000 to $52,000 per annum

          Even if we can achieve Luxemborg per capita income of $106,000 per annum, our Economy will still be only $593.6 billion with 5.6 million population.

            Then it is possible to grow population into 10 million - Singapore-1 (5 million people), Singapore-2 (5 million people) - and achieve per capita income of $100,000 per annum like Luxemborg - and become a trillion dollar Economy.

              If LKY can dream for Singapore-1 :- 
            • "Today is a marshland, 10 years down the road, Singapore will be a metropolitan city". 
            • 
              
            • Why can't we dream for Singapore-2 :- 
            • "Today we have islands that are marshland, by 2050, these islands will be Singapore-2, another metropolitan city of another 5 million people population - to total 10 million strong people"?
