SOUTHEAST ASIA'S RICHEST CITIES BY 2020

PriceWaterHouseCoopers released the findings of their research in March 2007 determining/estimating the economic standings of our cities after 13 years.

The index of The World’s Richest Cities by 2020 includes GDPs & estimated Annual Growth of metropolitan areas and not the core cities alone. Extracted from the world ranking of 151 cities – these will be the Richest Cities in Southeast Asia by 2020:

*City Urban Area / Country
Est GDP in 2020 in US$ /Est Annual Growth 2005-2020

1. Metro Manila, Philippines
$257 Billion, 5.90%

2. Jakarta, Indonesia
$253 Billion, 6.50%

3. Singapore, Singapore
$218 Billion, 3.60%

4. Bangkok, Thailand
$180 Billion, 4.80%

5. Ho Chi Min City, Vietnam

6. Hanoi, Vietnam
$73 Billion, 6.60%

7. Bandung, Indonesia
$69 Billion, 6.70%

8. Yangon, Burma
$33 Billion, 4.80%


It’s everybody’s game --13 years is a long time for estimates. If these cities can maintain their growth rate and their national governments can sustain political stability, then we will see this forecast come true.


Did we surprise you with this list, sweetie? =)
