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.

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.
