More than half of the annual world output of goods and services now comes from emerging market / developing countries.
However, the entire sub-Saharan African region only accounts for three per cent of world production of goods and services.
The European Union – after the UK’s exit at the end of 2020 now accounts for 15% of world GDP
The UK now accounts for around 2.5% of the world economy – keep this in mind when discussing the impact of the UK on global economic and financial events
