India is ranked 4th on GDP. But, Singapore is ranked 27th.

So is India richer than Singapore?

Here is a quick backstory:-

By 2047, we will be a 40 Tr$ economy.
And, by this point, we will be a developed economy.

This is a matter of great celebration. NO DOUBT.
And, we should be proud.

Having said this, if you look around, you will find that India ranks around 140th on GDP/Capita. No one seems to even talk about this number (like ever!).

This means that while India is growing GDP wise, an 'average' Indian is still quite poor.

Question comes WHY?

[1] Our GDP comes from domestic consumption, not exports. For decades we have run, trade deficit, not trade surplus (i.e we import more and export less)

[2] Singapore on the other hand, runs a trade surplus. In 2021 for example, they had a trade surplus of 126Bn$, which is almost 32% of their GDP.

[3] Interestingly, Japan, Germany, China (three countries which are ahead of us in terms of GDP), all run trade surplus (generally)

US is the only exception that runs a trade deficit (like India). But, they are a special case as they hold the reserve currency.

They can print their fake money and buy real goods from the world to the extent they want. And, still not cause a panic.

So to cut the long-story short, I don't know if India is richer than Singapore. May be it is, may be it is not.

Logically speaking, I don't know if a country can truly become rich without running a trade surplus.

Even if we look at history, this holds true. For 1700 years, India controlled 25-33% of world's wealth. Even during this phase, India was a net exporter of finished good.

Point is: Economics is complex. And, I am giving you all this info, so that you can understand the picture more holistically.

My goal is promote rational thinking. As this is becoming a dying art in the times of fake media narratives.
