The Next Eleven (or N-11) are eleven countries—Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, Turkey and Vietnam—identified by Goldman Sachs investment bank as having a high potential of becoming, along with the BRICS, the world's largest economies in the 21st century. The bank chose these states, all with promising outlooks for investment and future growth, on December 12, 2005.

The criteria that Goldman Sachs used were macroeconomic stability, political maturity, openness of trade and investment policies and the quality of education. The N-11 paper is a follow-up to the bank's 2003 paper on the four emerging "BRIC" economies, Brazil, Russia, India and China.[1]

Despite being a developed country, South Korea has been growing at a speed comparable to Brazil and Mexico. More importantly, it has a significantly higher Growth Environment Score (Goldman Sachs' way of measuring the long-term sustainability of growth) than all of the BRICs or N-11s.[8] Commentators such as William Pesek Jr. from Bloomberg argue that Korea is "Another 'BRIC' in Global Wall", suggesting that it stands out from the Next Eleven economies (N-11). South Korea will overtake Canada by 2025 and Italy by 2035 according to their paper "The N-11: More Than an Acronym".[9] Economists from other investment firms argue that Korea will have a GDP per capita of over $90,000 by 2050, virtually identical to the United States and the second highest among the G7, BRIC and N-11 economies, suggesting that wealth is more important than size for bond investors, stating that Korea's credit rating will be rated AAA sooner than 2050.[10]

Korea in 2050[11]
Korea United Korea  South Korea  North Korea
GDP in USD $6.056 trillion $4.073 trillion $1.982 trillion
GDP per capita $86,000 $96,000 $70,000
GDP growth (2010–2050) 4.1% 3.3% 12.4%
Total population 71 million 42 million 28 million

In September 2009, Goldman Sachs published its 188th Global Economics Paper named "A United Korea?" which highlighted in detail the potential economic power of a United Korea, which will surpass all current G7 countries except the United States, such as Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany and France within 30–40 years of reunification, estimating GDP to surpass $6 trillion by 2050.[12] Cheap, skilled labor from the North combined with advanced technology and infrastructure in the South, as well as Korea's strategic location connecting three economic powers, is likely going to create an economy larger than the bulk of the G7. According to some opinions, a reunited Korea could occur before 2050,[12] or even between 2010 and 2020.[13] If it occurred, Korean reunification would immediately raise the country's population to over 70 million.[citation needed]

Mexico

Primarily, along with the BRICs,[14] Goldman Sachs argues that the economic potential of Brazil, Russia, India, Mexico and China is such that they may become (with the USA) the six most dominant economies by the year 2050. Due to Mexico's rapidly advancing infrastructure, increasing middle class and rapidly declining poverty rates it is expected to have a higher GDP per capita than all but three European countries by 2050, this new found local wealth also contributes to the nation's economy by creating a large domestic consumer market which in turn creates more jobs.

Mexico in 2050[15]
Mexico Mexico
GDP in USD $9.340 trillion
GDP per capita $63,149

Indonesia

Jakarta, Indonesia

Indonesia is the world's fourth most populous country after China, India and the USA and the world's third most populous democratic country after India and the USA. In 2009, BRIC and Indonesia represented about 42 and 3 percent of the world's population respectively and about 15 percent of global GDP altogether. All of them are G20 countries. By 2015, Internet users in BRIC and Indonesia will double to 1.2 billion.[16][17] At 2009, Indonesia was the only member of the G20 to lower its public debt-to-GDP ratio: a very positive economic management indicator.[18]

October 2010: Wealth has surged in emerging markets in Asia Pacific, especially India and Indonesia. In the last ten years the total wealth of India has tripled to $3.5trillion while Indonesia's has grown fivefold to $1.8trillion. The inaugural report by the Credit Suisse Research Institute defines wealth as the value of financial assets and non-financial assets (mainly real estate), minus household debt.[19]

Pakistan

Pakistan the world's sixth most populous country after China, India, USA, Indonesia and Brazil. With most of the population working in agriculture, it is a nation with a partially democratic system though, as of 2011, it continues to be plagued by instability owing to political and religious extremism.[20][21][22][23]

Pakistan in 2050[24]

GDP in USD $2.085 trillion
GDP per capita $7,066

Total population 178 million

Philippines

Makati City, Philippines

The Philippines was then one of the richest countries in Asia but due to political instability and adoption of inconsistent economic policies, it took a turn to being one of the poorest. The Philippines, despite of its relatively small land area, has the world's 12th largest population. This leads to many social problems such as poverty, unemployment, and crime. However, the Philippines is now growing fast and needs are being fulfilled. It performed well compared to other Asian countries and is now considered as a newly industrialized country. It had shown its economic stability in facing financial crises.[25] According to Goldman Sachs, the Philippine economy will become the 14th largest economy in the world by 2050.[26][27]

The Philippines in 2050[15]
Philippines The Philippines
GDP in USD $3.010 trillion
GDP per capita $20,388
GDP growth (2015–2050) 5.2%
Total population 148 million
