I am a sucker for infographics like these:
In 2025, Global GDP hit an all-time high of $118.4 trillion — about $14,406 per person worldwide.
To reach $150T by 2030 — 26.7% higher than where we are now — would require 4 years of gains averaging 4.86%. Any combination of nominal growth plus inflation gets us there. 3% annual GDP growth with a 2% inflation rate hits $150T in 2030.
China, which was half of the US GDP not too long ago, is now 68.9% of our economy’s size; Europe, at $37 trillion, is about the same size as the United States’ economy.
$150 trillion is not a reach, and at current growth and inflation rates, if sustained, the world would reach $300 trillion sometime in 2044…
