Global powers wielding immense influence​

Ever wondered which countries are really calling the shots on the international stage? Look no further than the Great Powers Index 2024. Compiled by billionaire investor Ray Dalio, who founded the world's largest hedge fund Bridgewater Associates, this comprehensive ranking measures a wide range of factors – including economic output, military prowess, technological innovation and reserve currency status – to evaluate the leading 24 countries today and their prospects over the next decade.

11th strongest – Singapore, strength gauge score: 0.24​

Singapore is considered a modest power in gradual ascent. Its strength gauge score is 0.24. However, the tiny city-state punches well above its weight given its per capita score of 0.89, which is the highest in the world.

Singapore's core strengths include its people's resilience and industriousness, its robust legal framework and low corruption and its efficient resource management. Weaknesses range from the country's limited military capabilities and small economy to its scarcity of natural resources. But in terms of quality over quantity, no nation does it better.

Singapore's projected real growth rate over the next 10 years is 2.6%, above the global average.

Productivity and labour force growth will be the key drivers. Major strengths include the city-state's bureaucracy and workforce value, with monetary policy and debt the principal weaknesses. As is the case with Switzerland, Singapore's bulging stock of assets offset its debt issues to a large extent.

Seventh strongest – India, strength gauge score: 0.3​

A power in ascent, India's strength gauge score is slightly higher than the UK's at 0.3, but its per capita score is the lowest among the countries featured in the index at 0.07.

India's standout strengths include its resilient economy and financial stability, cost-competitive labour force, and its people's self-reliance. However, the world's most populous nation has many limitations to overcome, including its rudimentary innovation and technological reach, widespread corruption, inconsistent rule of law and lack of reserve currency status. Additionally, the wide gap between rich and poor presents a major hurdle.

India's future growth prospects​

Fortunately, India's real growth forecast over the next 10 years is the best in the index at a stellar 6.3%.

The country's high levels of investment and the industriousness of its workforce are its major pluses. In terms of negatives, the nation's debt and debt service levels, together with its dependence on credit flows for growth, are its biggest relative problems. But as noted by the index, it doesn't rate all that poorly even by these metrics when compared to other countries.
