An international poll commissioned by BBC World and powered by global market intelligence solutions provider GMI ( Global Market Insite Inc) reveals the world expects China to be the top economic superpower by 2026. A quarter of respondents believe India will be the third-biggest economy, while the U.S. is expected to hold the second place.
The poll results, which support the Emerging Giants season of news reports and programmes on BBC World starting on 22nd May, also revealed that respondents agreed emerging economies such as India and China cannot take economic success for granted. They suggested the two countries must address serious impediments to growth, including population, political stability and lack of democracy.
