\t\t\t\tVietnam’s two major economic hubs, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, will lead the global list of fastest growing GDP in 2008-2025, according to a recent study by the U.K.’s PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).<\/p>\n

PwC, the British industry-focused assurance, tax and advisory service provider’s economists authored the report, The Saigon Times Daily reported.<\/p>\n

It ranked GDP growth by taking into account the impacts of the current economic downturn on cities worldwide<\/p>\n

Hanoi and HCMC were ranked in the top spots on the list of the top 30 fastest growing cities in terms of economic growth, with an average real GDP growth rate of seven percent during 2008 to 2025.<\/p>\n

China’s Changchun and Guangzhou took the third and fourth places, with average GDP growth of 6.9 and 6.8 percent, consecutively.<\/p>\n

They are among the nine Chinese cities on the list along with 12 Indian cities. No city from a developed economy was listed.<\/p>\n

“We expect the largest emerging market cities such as Hanoi and HCMC to grow at a faster rate than the cities in advanced economies, leading to cumulative growth of up to almost 200 percent for the period under investigation 2008-2025,” Ian S. Lydall, general director of PwC Vietnam, said.<\/p>\n

“This is a contrast to advanced economy cities whose cumulative growth will be only around 35 percent,” he said.<\/p>\n

Lydall said the mega-cities of the major developed economies continued to lead the global GDP rankings at the time being but things would change for the emerging cities.<\/p>\n

“Only seven emerging economy cities are currently in the top 30 but our illustrative projections suggest that they will all move up the GDP rankings by 2025 and join the top 30.”<\/p>\n

According to PwC, Hanoi and HCMC will be “two of the notable ‘climbers’ on the 2025 list.<\/p>\n

The company forecast the southern hub would make a leap from the 95th position in 2008 to 64th in 2025 and its northern counterpart, Hanoi, would jump to the 82nd position from 116th in last year.<\/p>\n

The largest five urban economies in 2025 will remain the same as in 2008 although London would overtake Chicago to move into the 4th place, according to PwC.<\/p>\n

The largest ‘climbers’ within the top 30 are China’s Shanghai which is forecast to move up 16 spots from last year to rank 9th in 2025 and India’s Mumbai from the 29th of last year to 11th in 2025.<\/p>\n
