Will the UK ever overtake Germany?
Britain will overtake Germany to become the largest economy in Europe by 2050, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps is predicting.

Will France GDP overtake UK?
France remained the seventh-largest economy this year, two places behind the UK, where it is expected to stay until at least 2035. “By 2035, UK GDP in dollars is forecast to be 40 per cent more than that of France, its long-standing rival and neighbour,” the CEBR said.

When will the UK overtake Germany as the largest economy?

A region’s biggest economy attracts people and investment. Every multinational will want a stake in the British market. Migrants will flock here in even greater numbers.
Will the UK’s population gap with Germany ever close?
If the UK starts to grow consistently faster than Germany, the gap will close. There is another, more important factor. From 2015, Germany will have a sharply declining population. By 2020, it will have 80 million people, according to the Federal Statistical Office.
Is Germany’s economy fated to fail?
Germany is the only eurozone economy still in respectable shape — but with even the Dutch next door in recession, that can’t last. The reality is that Germany is fated to a decade or more of faltering output just like its neighbours. If the UK starts to grow consistently faster than Germany, the gap will close.
Will France’s economy overtake Germany by 2040?
