America will fall to number three on the list of the world’s largest economies behind China and India, a British financial services firm is predicting.

China will overtake the United States as the world’s largest economy in a decade’s time while India will assume second place, according to Standard Chartered, which unveils its annual rankings of the world’s ten largest economies.

It predicts that America will fall to third on the list behind the two Asian giants by 2030, according to Fox Business.

The firm predicts that the new global order will see current emerging markets occupy seven of the top 10 spots.

While America is expected to trail behind China and India, Indonesia will vault into the fourth slot.

‘Our long-term growth forecasts are underpinned by one key principle: countries’ share of world GDP should eventually converge with their share of the world’s population, driven by the convergence of per-capita GDP between advanced and emerging economies,’ Standard Chartered economists write in their study.
