Brazil to overtake UK as sixth-largest economy
The Daily Telegraph
October 31, 2011
Brazil will overtake the UK to become the world's sixth biggest economy this year, according to new projections.
Brazil grew by 7.5pc last year after comfortably weathering the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009
The Latin American giant's GDP for 2011 is expected to hit $2.44 trillion (£1.51 trillion) compared with $2.43 trillion for the UK, the latest monthly forecasts from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) show.
This will see Brazil, which last year overtook Italy to become the world's seventh biggest economy, move up one more place to sixth with the UK falling to seventh.
Robert Wood, the EIU's chief economist on Brazil, said the country's surge up the table owed much to a growing consumer class and a booming trade relationship with China, based on the Asian giant's need for commodities such as soy and iron ore.
"It's partly the story of the lower income classes rising up in Brazil to join the middle-class and partly the sheer size of the population of nearly 200m," said Mr Wood.
"This also links in with Brazil's emergence in terms of being dragged up by demand from China.

The prediction is that by 2020 we should overtake the last european country left ahead of us (germany).
I think Brazil can accelerate the process a bit more, since europe is melting down right now...
Oh and do you think this can affect the 2020/future Olympic bids? Right now it seems Europe hosts the event every 12 or even 8 years. I think this will change. Europe will lose some power, not sure how much...
oh as expected USA really is unmovable. I think China crashes under social pressure before it gets big enough to surpass the US.
Your thoughts, your thoughts?
