The Astounding Story of World Economic Growth, 1 AD-2008 Percentage of Total World GDP By Time Period Since 1 A.D. Approximately one quarter of all the goods and services produced in recorded history have been produced in the last decade…and the vast majority of economic growth occurred in the 20th century.

Emerging Economies Drive Recent Gains in Global Economy Emerging Economies Advanced Economies Global GDP $98.0 Trillion (Estimated) $43 Trillion $75 Trillion $23 Trillion $16 Trillion 37% $27 Trillion 63% $16 Trillion 69% $52 Trillion 53% $7 Trillion 31% $36 Trillion 48% $39 Trillion 52% $46 Trillion 47% 1990 2000 2010 2015 Per Capita GDP $1,841/$18,623 $3,136/$27,734 $6,165/$38,112 $8,391/$44,412 Currently, emerging markets (as a share of global GDP) are just surpassing developed markets. EM countries tend to have larger population growth and far more room for investment than DM countries, allowing them to grow at a much faster rate. **All numbers based on Purchasing Power Parity valuation of country GDP Source: International Monetary Fund, World Economic Outlook April 2012
China: Producing “a Sweden” Each Year! If China grew at a 7.6% year-over-year rate in 2013, this would increase their overall GDP in US dollars by close to 600 billion. In other words… China 2013 GDP Sweden 2011 GDP China 2011 GDP + = • If China grows at a “low” rate of 7.6% per year in 2013, it will still add the equivalent of Sweden GDP in 2011! • As an economy gets bigger, growing at a +8.0% rate becomes infeasible, especially considering global economic headwinds.
