Maarten van den Berg wrote that the economic position of the EU would change significantly in the near future. According to him, Germany, France, and Italy accounted for 13.8% of the world economy based on purchasing power parity in 1992, compared to 6.9% now. He stated that the share of the G7 would decrease from 47% to 26% by 2031 according to the IMF, and that the BRICS countries had already surpassed the G7 around 2020. Van den Berg wrote that the growth of the BRICS countries mainly came from India. He noted that China remained around 20%, with Russia, Brazil, and South Africa not far behind; he pointed out that these countries did not participate in Paris2030 and the Green Deal. He argued that economic weight was not automatic and had to be earned through growth. #Economie #EU #WereldwijdeGroei (translated)
