81India: Comparison Indian of economy vs. US, European Union , Canada, Japan and China

People want to compare economies to make strategies. This article will help you understand better Indian markets, consumers, industries and overall growth picture of India in Comparison with US, EU, Canada, Japan, China and rest of the world.
India is a large country having population of more than a billion, second highest in the world. It is also the largest democracy in the globe. GDP India is fourth highest in the world in PPP terms. Here is a comparison of Indian economy vs. the US, EU, Canada, Japan, China and rest of the world.
Indian GDP ranks to No.12 in nominal term of world GDP after US, Japan, UK, Germany, China, France, Italy, Spain, Canada, Brazil and Russia. However, India ($3000B) comes to No.4 after US (America) (($13800B), China ($7000B) and Japan ($4300B) in PPP terms .
India is a large economy. It has GDP of $1100 B (2007) or RS.55000 B. It is approximately two percent of the GDP of the world i.e. $55000 B. It does not tell the real story because world GDP is calculated based on US dollars. However, Indians have to buy, sell and spend in Indian rupee.

Highest growth in stock market
More over India is growing at the rate of eight to nine percent per annum where as most of the developed countries including US, Canada, Japan and countries of EU and UK are growing at a very slow speed until last year. Only China has shown greater growth rate than India.
Picture is little different this year. Most of the developed countries have started showing tendency of negative growth. This will surely affect India and China but they can manage their growth in a positive range. It is expected that China will manage a growth rate of eight to nine percent where as India will anywhere between seven to eight percent.
India has achieved highest growth rate in stock market in the world. If we compare the stock markets of India and America since 9/11, we find fascinating facts. Dow Jones fell after 9/11 to 8235 on 21st September 2001. The BSE (India) also fell during those days to reach a low of 2595. Particular data for Shanghai (China) and Hangseng (Hong Kong) are not available to me (If anyone has the data, please inform me) but those were around 1400 and 11000 respectively. Dow Jones is trading at 8787 (While writing this hub Dec. 09, 2008). If we compare it with the previous Dow Jones data (21st sept.2001), it has gained mere 550 points over the period of more than seven years. Where as BSE India has traded at (on eighth Dec.2008, 9th market closed) 9162 level. It has jumped from 2595 to 9162, that is a gain of 6567 points or approximately 250 percent! Hangseng is 14753 and Shanghai is 2037 today. As I do not have actual data of 21st Sept. of both these indexes it is not justified to calculate the gain but it is some thing around thirty to fifty percent.
Dow has increased mere six percent in more than seven years and China and Hong Kong index has raised by thirty to fifty percent (roughly estimated) but Indian stock exchange index BSE has shown an amazing growth of more than two hundred fifty percent.
I have deliberately taken bear market data for a real comparison.

India has fifth highest foreign currency reserve in the world.
Foreign currency reserves of China, Japan, Russia,Taiwan and India were $ 1905, $997B, $485B, $282 B and $247 B respectively in 2007.

The most interesting fact is that Indian foreign currency reserve had been increased 64 percent in comparison to 32 percent of China and 57 of Russia, 9 of Japan and below 3 percent of Taiwan on year-to-year basis.
It is worth mention that so called rich countries likes of the US, Canada, France and the UK are not in this list.

Some of the major Indian industrialists have started making their industries green. Tata is one of them. This initiative will help growing environment friendly and energy efficient industries and businesses. India has started moving towards renewable sources of energy especially in solar energy and wind energy. Vast desert land in Thar area is ideal place to produce solar energy. Long coastal area viz a viz to desert are ideal places for producing wind energy.
India is pioneer in recycling industry. Large numbers of Indian people are involved in recycling waste materials in unorganized sector. Some organized sector businesses have recently entered in to this business. Government incentives can boost this industry to sky height.
India is growing organic food and other agricultural products in huge quantity. The country is also creating green forests and urban forests to fight global warming and climate change.
Several urban cities authorities made water harvesting compulsory for new buildings. This government initiative is boosting water harvesting projects in urban areas. Government initiatives in rural areas will enhance these projects many folds.
All these will make India pioneer in green industries. It will create large numbers of green collar jobs in India.

Hello Sir, I like to read more about Indian economy and thnx to u sir for this great information. Sir i request u to post more about india. Sir my Id is, sdasharma.sharma@gmail.com. Thanx
Dear JYOTI KOTHARI
You are really a great man. Thanks for such a useful information . Till now ,i don't have good image of India because of the corruption and the useless government . Can you please post the area where indian are lacking and need to improve to be the most powerful country .
We have to control the inflation to really grow.I think that is only possible with a higher level of corporate responsibility and a good governance.Corruption and no accountability in govt as well private sector is a most important factor for higher inflation rate.I think we have to address all these issues more seriously.
i think india is better than all other and india is bettter here we don't have to do labour
but in canada even no one gets time to talk even with their children
Very nice information.....thanks for sharing.
hey jyoti its really nice to read about growth of india but you should have given some stats table too to make it more clear
i think jyothi kothari is the best man fro the job of vice president
i m amazed to read ur informtion, and after CW games world says that india is 3rd most powerfull economis. hatt's off to you man.
Hi! Jyoti
Just visited back your informative and interesting article, saw interesting comments by you and and others. About you mentioning population being a problem, I think it is a myth created during license raj in our country by People who rule to hide their mismanagement. Statistics does not support this feeling. I wrote some weeks back an article about it. Here is a link.
A very informative eye-opener to what is happening in so called developing countries. The future will unravel the course of Western economy and all we can do is wait and watch while the powers that be toss it around. If we have people like John Boehner saying "to get our economy moving ... we have to get it going" lol what's going to be the future of the USA?!
sir this hub is really good................
thank u soo much. the information was really very useful
can u please let me know about the job opportunities in india in the up coming 2-3 years

Hi Jyoti,
You have described economies of several countries in an excellent way. Indian economy is, surely, in boom and it can now be compared with any other economy in the world.
Thanks for sharing. Thumbs up!

Hi Jyoti,
I am amazed with the data that you have put in.
Indian economy has shown great improvements in the last 2 decades. However can you expalin why do the economies (I mean growth of economies) like India, China, France, Japan, US and UK differ?
Hi,
Very interesting and useful hub for the knowledge of common man of India. GDP and other facts and figures were compared nicely.. It really boost my knowlegde.

Hi Jyoti,
This is wonderful. You have explained about all economies and painted right picture of India. Still there are people who do not believe in the strength of Indian economy and keep themselves engaged only with western economy. Perhaps they are living in the fool's heaven.
I have read large numbers of your articles on economy and found all of them thought provoking and data rich.
Thanks and thumbs up!for contributing for India.
Anil
Hi! Jyotiji
Good informative collection of statistics about Indian economy. I enjoyed going through it. We have to still go a long way. Percentage of our income to world's total income should be at least equal to percentage of our population. Actually our country is much richer in resources and human capital so it should be much more. That means we have to increase our income even in ppp terms at least 4 times. Hopefully we will be much better of in next 4-5 years. Only our government should leave business and infra structure building to business managers, industrialists and institutions. Let us hope it happens.
hey jyoti grt effort.hats off to you for collecting such diverse informations and arranging them in an orderly manner
India will take over China soon. It will soon achieve growth rate of ten percent. China will go down in growth rate according to the economists.
Thumbs up!
Jyoti,
This is a superb article. India is emerging in economic front. The world has noticed Indian economy since last few years.
Thanks

thanks for great articles.Today Movie from india get Academy awards 2009.congratulation!
Very interesting hub. Since the global enonomic crashing I'm not so sure we can count on anything as predictable. Many analysts seem to believe that things will level out, time will heal the problems and then it will be back to business as usual as prices adjust to lowered incomes. Not realistic in my book as millions of jobs have disappeared and continue to do so.
There has been a huge realignment both in America and the world, not so much among the businesses as their practices have yet to change since their governments are still feeding their bad policies. What has changed dramatically is in the minds of the consumers who once fed those businesses. Life has changed permanently and we all must learn to adapt.
One currency? Not any time soon. The negative domino effect that President Bush started has created so much distrust among even the American people that there is no way the average consumer will trust a world order currency in this generation or for several more generations.
Maybe in about 4 generations when the memories of this time dims and only if there is economic prosperity. People tend to contract in times of economic downturn and trust less.
To join with a world currency would require a feeling of financial safety and trust. So, if you are going to propose such an event you might only succeed in time of prosperity and to a generation that has never experienced hardship.
Once people are wealthy, they sure don't like to go backwards down to poverty and hardship. Good luck on that world currency idea. What sounds logical to the left brain isn't going to work with people in general as humanity is illogical.
thanks jyotiji for very good information,
i think indian are not taking many finance or credit cards from bank like america and other country,so indians are not doing over load tention on their head,they are doing as per their strength,so ther are happy,they are doing limited debit as per their capacity,
Thank you Kothari
That was a very informative hub you put out there
The speaker from the You Tube video reassured my position on the economy. It is as if I was reading his blogs. Anyhow it appeared to me that some sort of equilibrium must be reach here. Globolization has changed the way people do business completely. In fact it is partly because of Globolization that the economy is now showing different faces. Globolization has allowed all companies to do business under one umbrella. Those companies that can't feet under this umbrella will get wet and it's exactly what we are now witnesses. The need for a new currency is definitely arriving and it's not that far away. I mean what do people think when the president elect said “the economy will get worst before it get better.” It is only when one is faced with desperate means can he agree to settle for an unfair price.
I think the Indian people are very smart in business and, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't buy any of the bundled portfolios that had included the subprime mortgages that were actually at the root core of the economic meltdown. Is that true, jyoti?
