Saturday, 3 August 2024, 22:11
Understanding the Middle Income Trap
The middle income trap refers to a situation where countries experience a slowdown in growth after reaching middle income levels. A recent report from the World Bank highlights the challenges faced by two of the world's largest economies: India and China.
Economic Growth Projections
- The report predicts that India could require an estimated 75 years to achieve a quarter of US per capita income based on current trends.
- China, despite its rapid growth, may also encounter similar economic stagnation risks.
Implications for Future Development
Both nations need to implement robust economic policies aimed at enhancing productivity and ensuring sustainable growth. Without such changes, the potential of these economies may remain unrealized.
