The World in 2020

The National Intelligence Council of the CIA published a report about the world in the year 2020.

Its Chairman writes that "Mapping the Global Future: Report of the National Intelligence Council’s 2020 Project is the third unclassified report prepared by the National Intelligence Council (NIC) in recent years that takes a long-term view of the future. It offers a fresh look at how key global trends might develop over the next decade and a half to influence world events."

As frequently mentioned elsewhere already, the US, currently the predominant economic power in the world, will face more and more competition from Asia countries, especially India and China. It also talks to the risks that both countries face in their economic development.

They are publishing a positive picture - it is their forecast that the rise of the world's two most populous countries would have a positive impact on the world economy, causing it to be about 80 percent larger than in 2000. The world per capital income would also increase by 50 percent.
