The Romanian economy was valued in 2010 at $56 billion (in constant price since 2000), according to HSBC estimates. Romania’s economy is projected to reach $377 billion in 2050.
The research divides the world’s 50 leading economies into three growth categories.
China, India, Ukraine, and Serbia are included in the fast growth economies.
The “growth” category includes, apart from Romania, other Central and Eastern European economies such as Bulgaria and Hungary. Surprisingly, this category also includes Russia and Brazil, two of the BRIC countries (the most promising emerging economies).
On the other hand, the group of countries that will see slow growth rates over the next four decades includes mature economies such as the US, Japan, Germany, the UK, and France.
This category also includes Singapore and South Korea, two of the so-called “Asian Tigers,” the fast-growing economies in Asia.
