India is going to surpass UK with regards to world’s largest economy rankings as its GDP growth is projected to be 7.6 percent in 2019. Data trends show that US growth is estimated to be temperate from 2.8 percent in 2018 to approximately 2.3 percent in 2019. Labour markets in developed economies are estimated to tighten, thus increasing the wages.

India and France are expected to cross the UK with regards to world’s largest economy ranking this year, pushing it from the fifth to the seventh position in the global ratings, as per the projections. Though the UK and France usually switch places because of similar levels of development and almost equivalent population, India’s spiraling up the rankings is most likely to be stable and lasting now. As per the projections, UK would experience almost 1.6 percent real GDP growth, 1.7 percent for France and 7.6 percent for India in the year 2019.

India is expected to have a healthy growth rate of almost 7.6 percent in FY20, assuming that there are no big headwinds in the world economy like more trade tensions or any supply shocks in oil. The growth will be aided by further realization of efficiency gains that come from the newly-implemented GST and policy momentum predicted in the first year of the new government.

Today, India has become the fastest developing large economy throughout the world, with the gigantic population, very favorable demographics and the huge potential because of the low initial GDP per head. It is assured to continue to go up in the global GDP league ratings in the next few decades and this surely is a good time for company formation in India.

The restrained growth in the UK last year and again in the year 2019 is probable to turn the statistics in France’s favor. When comparing the currencies, the relative strength of the Euro as against the Pound is also an important factor to consider here. The world-wide economy is estimated to slow down this year as G7 countries go back to long-run average growth rates, as per new projections and data.

The lift in growth of many major economies observed between 2016 end and 2018 beginning has now ended. The boost from the fiscal stimulus is estimated to decrease, while higher interest rates could diminish consumer expenditure and a strong dollar is expected to continue dragging on net exports. The projections point out that US growth is going to be moderate from a projected 2.8 percent last year to around 2.3 percent in 2019.

The development in China is also expected to slow down as compared to 2018. Although the Government would try to ensure a minimal slowdown, the effect of US tariffs and the necessity for controlling the debt levels are probable to create a meek deceleration in growth this year.

The labour markets in developed economies are likely to go on tightening with unemployment decreasing even if job creation slows. This will push up wages, but would cause challenges for enterprises planning to fill talent shortages. In 2019, unemployment would fall a little more in the US and Germany, though the rates of job creation in these countries have remained strong.
