Outlook: The United States, United Kingdom and other 'G7' countries are becoming a smaller part of the global economy as China, India and other emerging countries are growing more rapidly. On some measures China has already overtaken Japan as the second largest economy and Germany as the largest exporter of manufactured goods. It is becoming an increasingly important end market as well as a production base for export to the rest of the world. Other populous but hitherto economically underdeveloped countries such as India and Indonesia appear set to follow China down this road while Brazil, for decades apparently stuck in a state of arrested development, is at last realising its potential.
