G-20: The new global economy
World underdogs take the lead
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Changes in the global pecking order are coming.
As western nations face stunted economic growth and years of painful budget-slashing ahead, developing nations like China, Brazil, India and Russia are slowly moving up on the world stage.
The United States is struggling to hit 2.7% growth for the year, while emerging economies, which also include smaller countries mostly in Asia and Latin America, are collectively on track for 7.1% growth for the year.On a trip to Asia this week, President Obama reaffirmed India's increasing importance as a global trading partner, signing $10 billion in contracts for U.S. exports. And when world leaders meet in South Korea for the G-20 summit this week, Europe will give up a few IMF seats to emerging nations to reflect their expanding global influence.
China has already surpassed Japan to become the world's second largest economy, and could overtake the United States for the no. 1 position in 10 to 15 years. If that happens, it will mark the first change in the leadership position, since the U.S. overtook Great Britain in 1894.
So where did these countries get it right while western superpowers got it so wrong?
