New EU Member States—A Fifth BRIC?
September 2008
The collective size of the economies of the New EU Member States (NMS) is about the same as that of the smaller BRICs: Brazil or Russia. By 2050, NMS GDP could grow to $5.3trn and average GDP per capita could be $65,000, compared with $1.2trn and $11,400 today. We forecast potential growth in the NMS at around 4% per annum for the next ten years. It could be even higher with better economic policies.
