Pakistan is expected to be among the world’s most powerful economies by 2030, said a report carried by World Economic Forum on its website.
The report, titled “The long view: how will the global economic order change by 2050?” ranked 32 countries by their projected global gross domestic product by Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). It was prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers, one of the world’s largest professional-services firms.
PPP is used by macroeconomists to determine the economic productivity and standards of living among countries across a certain time period.
While PwC’s findings show some of the same countries right near the top of the list in 13 years, they also have numerous economies slipping or rising massively by 2030.
Below is the list of countries that could face economic boom in next 13 years.
