Australia's outlook remains strong. The IMF forecasts the Australian economy will grow by 1.6% in 2023.

This follows Australia's solid 5.2% growth in 2021 and an estimated growth of 3.7% in 2022.
The world's 12th largest economy
Strong growth in 2021 solidified Australia's position as the world's 12th largest economy in 2021. Nominal GDP was around A$2.2 trillion (US$1.6 trillion) in 2021. Australia is home to just 0.3% of the world's population, but accounts for 1.7% of the global economy.
The United States remains the most powerful country in the world, followed by China and Russia. However, the balance of power may shift in the coming years as countries like India and Brazil continue to grow economically and assert themselves on the global stage.
History's first superpower—the Persian Empire—originated in ancient Iran.

“Australia already has average temperatures over the continent above 1.5 degrees above the pre-industrial average, while the rest of the world is at 1.1 degrees. “In a decade from now the rest of the world will probably be at 1.5 degrees and Australia will probably be around 2 degrees, maybe a bit more.”
In the univariate model, China will be the largest economy in the world in 2100, producing some 27% of global output. India will be the second largest economy accounting for 16.2% of global output and the US will be third with 12.3% of global output. So, it's the century of China then.
