World's Top Economies - A Market Research

Emerging economies are smaller than the developed countries – but they are growing faster and opening up, leading to greater investment opportunities than ever before.

There are two methods of GDP calculation: nominal GDP attempts to compare countries using current exchange rates to give an assessment of their clout within the global market. Purchasing Power Parity or PPP GDP, on the other hand, tries to take into account that one dollar can buy more in some countries and less in others. It is a better gauge of the internal size of each market.

In the nominal GDP method, we can see that the developed world leads the pack, but that China has already broken into this exclusive club.

When we look at PPP GDP, China, India, Brazil and Russia are all within the top 10.

Here is the Top 10, as listed by PPP GDP:

Ranking	Country	Approximate GDP- Purchasing Power Parity
1	United States of America	$13,860,000,000,000
2	China	$7,043,000,000,000
3	Japan	$4,305,000,000,000
4	India	$2,965,000,000,000
5	Germany	$2,833,000,000,000
6	United Kingdom	$2,147,000,000,000
7	Russia	$2,076,000,000,000
8	France	$2,067,000,000,000
9	Brazil	$1,838,000,000,000
10	Italy	$1,800,000,000,000

This map from the CIA World Factbook will help to illustrate the differences between calculating world GDP figures on a PPP or nominal basis.


For an analysis on nominal GDP comparisons read our article on World GDP.

A sectoral analysis of country GDP allows us to understand the paradigm shift now occurring within most world economies. Growth patterns generally show a shift from agriculture to manufacturing and ultimately to the services sector.

The following table shows the percentage of GDP contributed by each sector in the top ten economies of the world:

Country	Contribution of Services Sector in GDP (estimated for 2007)	Contribution of Industrial Sector in GDP	Contribution of Agricultural Sector in GDP
United States of America	78.5%	20.6%	0.9%
China	39.5%	49.5%	11%
Japan	73.3%	25.2%	1.5%
India	55%	28.4%	16.6%
Germany	69.5%	26.9%	0.9%
United Kingdom	75.5%	23.6%	0.9%
Russia	56.3%	39.1%	4.6%
France	77.3%	20.7%	2%
Brazil	64%	30.8%	5.1%
Italy	69.3%	32%	5%

The growth rate of these economies is also an important factor, and is directly related to the overall development of a specific economy. Group of Seven Countries such as the United States, France, Italy and the United Kingdom all typically have smaller growth rates – usually in the region of about 2% per annum.

By contrast, emerging economies such as India and China have growth rates of around 8% to 11%, while the ‘new’ emerging economies may experience even more blistering growth rates. Developed countries have already reached a saturation point, and thus expand less than emerging economies, where possibilities and opportunities are ripe, investors are ready to take risks, and consumers are demanding more goods and services than ever before.

Oh! What a bandh it is! Oh what a bandh!

The 3 top leaders of 3 top parties of West Bengal meet secretly on Sunday the 12th July, 2009. They take some decision unanimously.

Mamata-di (angrily): What is this going on Pranab-da and Buddha-babu? There are no holidays this July? Children are so much eager to enjoy a holiday. So are the elders. They are complaining me to take an action for a holiday. How long will it go on like this?

Pranab-da (in excitement): True, very true. No holidays this July. No holidays before 15th August. That means we will have to work hard like this for the next one month. We have already been working since 1st May, 2009 like this continuously for the last two months. It is high time we should get a holiday.

Buddha-babu (confused): But we cannot declare a holiday just like this. There should be some reason for a holiday.

Mamata-di (in excitement): Why don’t you declare a bandh? A bandh needs no reason. We can call bandh just like that.

Buddha-babu: Look Mamata, nowadays even for a bandh we need a reason. People are not fool anymore. Look how they are going against CPM in all the polls.

Mamata-di (to Pranab-da): Buddha-babu and I had called many bandhs in the last 5 years. Now it is you who will have to call for a bandh Pranab-da.

Pranab-da (in fear): Okay okay Mamata and Buddha, I have got an idea.

Mamata-di and Buddha-babu(in anticipation): What idea? What idea?

Pranab-da: Buddha, you will have to help me in this. You shall command your party men to chase away 9 of our MLAs in the village called Mangalcoat when they will go for helping the poor with aid. In protest, I will call for a bandh this week.

Mamata-di: A bandh should be called on a Friday or Monday so that most of us can have 3 days holidays at a stretch. In these three days people can pack off their bags and run to places like Digha, Puri, Darjeeling, Santiniketan and spend 3 idle days in peace. Others might spend a lazy day watching Ray-babu’s films on their DVD players.

Buddha-babu: Okay then, you can call the bandh on Friday the 17th of July, 2009. I will also ask our transport minister Subhash not to allow government buses to ply on the roads to make the bandh a successful one.

Mamta-di: Pranab-da, please tell you party men to burn down at least 9 to 10 government buses on the streets of Kolkata and Howrah to grant Subhash-da some reason to not allow government buses to ply on the roads. I shall also condemn the burning of buses to create a falsely good impression on people. (in pride) After all I am going to be the next CM.

Buddha-babu: Okay then Mamata and Pranab. So it is finalized that we will enjoy a total bandh on the said date and according to the discussion made above. Cheers to 3 of us!

Mamata-di (happily): Cheers!

Pranab-da (happily): Cheers!

RESULT: People of West Bengal enjoyed a bandh on 17th of July and had 3 days holidays at a stretch from Friday the 17th till Sunday the 19th of July, 2009.

NOTE: This is an untrue incident and not written to harm the sentiments of people. It is just to create a humour out of the present political scenario of Bengal. If anyone wants it to be removed, you can mail me to get it removed with a valid reason at vaichatt@gmail.com

A Baby Bird that is Me or an Injured Soldier

Currently I am like a baby bird who is unable to fly how much it tries or you can say currently I am like an injured soldier who has all the weapons in his hand and heavily armoured but due to some reasons the injured soldier cannot stand and fight the battle. For that the soldier needs to go to the nearest hospital and get himself treated. He has currently gone to some hospital and he is getting himself treated and thus he would be equiped with more weapons to face the enemy.

I do not know when this phase of my life will be away and the injured soldier will rise again to fight the rest of the battle as it is something which is unavoidable and it has to be fought if he wants to reach his goal.

Home Town Mall - New Town - Rajarhat - Kolkata - Block by Block

Home Town Mall - New Town - Rajarhat - Kolkata

Largest city store to open in New Town

SUBHRO SAHA

Calcutta is set to welcome its biggest retail outlet, a 200,000sq ft answer to international giants Ikea and Home Depot, at a time when a clutch of large-format shop stops have downed shutters or are on the brink of closure. HomeTown, the “first-of-its-kind home improvement retail format in India”, will unveil its largest store this week at Bengal Shrachi’s Block by Block mall in New Town. The store will be as big as the entire Forum mall. “We have always shared a special emotional connect with Calcutta and this HomeTown store is an affirmation of our faith in this city,” Kishore Biyani, the CEO of the Future Group, told Metro. The HomeTown chain is owned by Home Solutions (India) Ltd, a part of the Future Group. The Rajarhat shop stop, to be inaugurated on June 20, will be the seventh in the chain after Noida, Ahmedabad, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Lucknow. The store will be divided into three sections — exhibitions, markets and services, with over 150 rooms designed and fitted out on display. It will also provide design-and-build services to customers, with a team of designers on the rolls. The markets section will feature products for living room, dining room, bedroom, kids’ room, kitchen, bathroom, home furnishings, mattresses, eZone (consumer durables and electronics) and Depot (books, music etc). The services section will offer options such as Mr Carpenter, Mr Plumber, Mr Electrician, Mr Painter, door delivery and installation. “This will do wonders for Rajarhat’s sagging public image, which has seen negative perception amplify in recent months over infrastructure issues. A huge destination retail address like HomeTown has the power to draw footfalls from far and wide,” said Rahul Todi, the managing director of Bengal Shrachi. Consumers will also get professional advice on various home-related issues, ranging from interiors, carpentry, plumbing and painting to even grihapravesh puja. Future Group is targeting revenues of Rs 1,800 crore from the chain of HomeTown stores. The Rajarhat address is twice the average size of the other outlets and is expected to generate “substantially higher” revenues than the template target of Rs 200 crore from each store. “Such a gigantic store is an emphatic renewal of faith in Calcutta’s retail climate and will go a long way in boosting investor confidence in these troubled times. The Rajarhat HomeTown will have a large catchment area and a home-solutions format like this will always have takers, boom or bust,” said Abhijit Das of retail and property consultants Lemongrass Advisors. Future Group is also rolling out seven large-format stores in and around the city over the next few months — four Big Bazaar outlets in Salt Lake and Lake Mall (45,000sq ft each), Sealdah (50,000sq ft), Birati (21,000sq ft), a Pantaloons store in City Centre 2 (40,000sq ft) and two outlets in Mani Square — Fashion @ Big Bazaar and Planet Sports.
