BTW am curious. According to the UN, the list is like this:
1 United States 14,447,100
2 China 5,739,358
3 Japan 5,458,873
4 Germany 3,280,334
5 France 2,559,850
6 United Kingdom 2,253,552
7 Brazil 2,088,966
8 Italy 2,051,290
9 India 1,722,328
10 Canada 1,577,040
11 Russia 1,479,823
Any idea how these guys calculate? India is 9th and Russia drops down to 11th?!
This is 2010 data.
In 2010, China's GDP was around 5.8 trillion. In 2011 it increased to 7.3 trillion.
The large increase was partially due to the strengthening of the Yuan against the dollar.
India's GDP ranking fell from 9th in 2010 to 11th in 2011 for the opposite reason, i.e. the weakening of the Rupee.
