新“G7”超越七國集團

國際貨幣基金組織(IMF)周二發(fā)布其最新的《世界經(jīng)濟展望》(World Economic Outlook),。一個突出的新發(fā)現(xiàn)浮出水面：以購買力平價(PPP)計算，七個最大的新興市場經(jīng)濟體的國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值(GDP)總和大于由老牌工業(yè)化國家組成的七國集團(G7),。
一個假想的新G7——包括金磚四國(BRIC)：巴西,、俄羅斯、印度和中國,，以及三個所謂的薄荷(MINT)經(jīng)濟體：墨西哥,、印度尼西亞和土耳其——擁有總共37.8萬億美元（按購買力平價計算）的GDP總值，高于老牌G7國家——加拿大,、法國,、德國、意大利,、日本,、英國和美國——34.5萬億美元的GDP總值。
購買力平價的計算遠非一種精確的科學(xué),。但是，即便有各種不足之處,，新的估算仍表明世界已今非昔比：在全球20個最大經(jīng)濟體中,，半數(shù)是新興市場經(jīng)濟體，另外一半是老牌富裕國家,；印尼已躋身于前10名之列,，超越英國成為世界第九大經(jīng)濟體；尼日利亞（另一個薄荷經(jīng)濟體）在該國政府調(diào)整GDP測算的基期后,，排名躍升10位,，從第30位升至第20位,。(更多全球資訊請關(guān)注中國進出口網(wǎng))

On Tuesday the International Monetary Fund released its latest World Economic Outlook. A striking new finding emerges: the seven largest emerging markets are now bigger, in gross domestic product terms, than the long established G7 group of industrialised nations, when measured at purchasing power parity (PPP).
A hypothetical new G7, comprising the BRICs — Brazil, Russia, India and China — and three of the so-called MINT economies – Mexico, Indonesia and Turkey — has a combined GDP of $37.8 tn (at purchasing power parity) compared to $34.5 tn for the old G7 — Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US.
The calculation of PPPs is far from an exact science. But, even with caveats, the new estimates point to a dramatically changed world: half of the twenty largest economies are now emerging markets and half are from the established rich world; Indonesia has entered the top 10 and overtaken the UK to become the 9th largest economy in the world; Nigeria – the other MINT economy – has leapt ten places in the rankings from 30th to 20th after the government rebased its measurement of GDP.(更多全球資訊請關(guān)注中國進出口網(wǎng))
