The International Monetary Fund projects that Brazil will climb to 8th place among the world’s largest economies in 2027, up from 10th, with gross domestic product of $2.79 trillion. The move would see Brazil overtake Italy, projected at $2.77 trillion, and Russia, projected at $2.68 trillion.

A ranking last seen in 1996

The IMF projection elsewhere in the same report states Brazil’s 2027 GDP at $2.8 trillion, slightly above the $2.79 trillion figure used in the ranking table.

The top of the table remains unchanged in order. The United States is projected at $34.44 trillion and China at $22.94 trillion, far ahead of the rest of the field.

Shifts further down the table

Germany is projected at $5.66 trillion. India is projected to overtake Japan for 4th place in 2027, with GDP of $4.52 trillion against Japan’s $4.47 trillion, while the United Kingdom sits between them at $4.49 trillion.

France is projected at $3.65 trillion, ahead of Brazil, Italy and Russia at the bottom of this group of economies.
