IMF Projects India to Overtake Japan as Fourth-Largest Economy by 2027
The IMF projects India will become the world's fourth-largest economy by 2027, with a nominal GDP of $4.52 trillion, surpassing Japan and the UK. Japan is expected to fall to sixth place due to challenges like an ageing population, weak yen, and subdued growth. India's rise reflects strong economic fundamentals, including robust growth and fiscal prudence. The United States, China, and Germany are projected to remain the top three economies.
