In the next two decades, the UK is expected to eclipse both Japan and Germany to become the fourth-largest economy in the world according to a recent study, the International Business Times reported on 26 December.
The findings were part of a report by the Centre for Economic and Business Research on the projected economic positions of countries in the future.
The change is predicted because of Japan’s weak economy—at present—and ageing population, as well as solid growth expected in the UK economy over the next 20 years.
