新“G7”超越七国集团

 新“G7”超越七国集团

国际货币基金组织(IMF)周二发布其最新的《世界经济展望》(World Economic Outlook)。一个突出的新发现浮出水面：以购买力平价(PPP)计算，七个最大的新兴市场经济体的国内生产总值(GDP)总和大于由老牌工业化国家组成的七国集团(G7)。
一个假想的新G7——包括金砖四国(BRIC)：巴西、俄罗斯、印度和中国，以及三个所谓的薄荷(MINT)经济体：墨西哥、印度尼西亚和土耳其——拥有总共37.8万亿美元（按购买力平价计算）的GDP总值，高于老牌G7国家——加拿大、法国、德国、意大利、日本、英国和美国——34.5万亿美元的GDP总值。
购买力平价的计算远非一种精确的科学。但是，即便有各种不足之处，新的估算仍表明世界已今非昔比：在全球20个最大经济体中，半数是新兴市场经济体，另外一半是老牌富裕国家；印尼已跻身于前10名之列，超越英国成为世界第九大经济体；尼日利亚（另一个薄荷经济体）在该国政府调整GDP测算的基期后，排名跃升10位，从第30位升至第20位。(更多全球资讯请关注中国进出口网)

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.(更多全球资讯请关注中国进出口网)
