The start of this decade has been marked by the worldwide financial map grappling with economic hardships, with rising commercial disputes and increasing competition, ranging from the financial crisis of 2007 to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

According to the Spanish financial magazine Muy Negocios y Economia, some countries have failed in that endeavor, while others have prospered, including Norway, Hong Kong, and New Zealand.

Hong Kong

In spite of massive protests, political unrest, and health emergencies, Hong Kong’s economy performed well in 2021. So far in 2021, the territory has exceeded forecasts with a 5.6% increase in exports and a 3.1% drop in unemployment.

According to published analyses, Hong Kong is predicted to have the 17th best GDP per capita in the world in the next four years.
A country’s strength is its service industry, which accounts for 92.7% of all the wealth it generates.

Norway

Norway, which is projected to have the second-highest GDP per capita on the planet by 2022, is just behind Luxembourg at the top of the list of richest countries.

Norwegians currently enjoy one of the highest standards of living and a prosperous economy, thanks to the country’s vast offshore oil and gas reserves.

“Other nations may have squandered their excess wealth, but Norway deposits its surplus natural resources in what is now the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund,” said the analysis.

New Zealand

New Zealand’s biggest economic and financial pillars are the real estate and tourism industries. Investments in housing and infrastructure are helping the economy grow at a 3.1% pace this year due to government investments.

New Zealand is projected to become the 21st richest country in the world by 2022, has substantially increased its GDP during that time period.
