India Will Overtake UK This Year as The World’s Fifth Biggest Economy
But it may not be before 2024 that India overtakes Germany to become world's fourth-largest economy.
In 2019, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeks the mandate of over a billion Indians for his party’s bid to return to power, the World Bank will release 2018 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures for all nations of the world. If the growth trends of the past are anything to go by, the World Bank will declare that India has overtaken its erstwhile colonial master United Kingdom (UK) to become the world’s fifth biggest economy.
