4. The flags of the MINT nations, Mexico, Indonesia,
Nigeria and Turkey
5. In 2001 the world began talking about the Bric
countries - Brazil, Russia, India and China -
as potential powerhouses of the world
economy. The term was coined by economist
Jim O'Neill, who has now identified the "Mint"
countries - Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and
Turkey - as emerging economic giants. Here
he explains why.
So what is it about the so-called Mint
countries that makes them so special? Why
these four countries?

15. Mexico in 2050
GDP in USD
$9.340
trillion
GDP per capita $63,149
GDP growth (2015–2050) 4.0%
Total population
142
million
Mexico
Due to Mexico's rapidly
advancing infrastructure,
increasing middle class and
rapidly declining poverty rates
it is expected to have a higher
GDP per capita than all but
three European countries by
2050, this new found local
wealth also contributes to the
nation's economy by creating a
large domestic consumer
market which in turn creates
more jobs
16. Indonesia
•With its large population, Indonesia will be ranked seventh in gross domestic product
(GDP) by 2050 based on a prediction by Jim O'Neill about BRIC and other prominent
countries. Indonesia has a mixed economy in which both the private sector and
government play significant roles. The country is the largest economy in Southeast
Asia and a member of the G-20 major economies. Indonesia's estimated gross
domestic product (nominal), as of 2012 was US$928.274 billion with estimated
nominal per capita GDP was US$3,797, and per capita GDP PPP was US$4,943
(international dollars). June 2011: At World Economic Forum on East Asia,
Indonesian president said Indonesia will be in the top ten countries with the strongest
economy within the next decade.
17. Indonesia is the world's fourth most
populous country after China, India, and
the USA and the world's third most
populous democratic country after India
and the USA. In 2009, BRIC and
Indonesia represented about 42 and 3
percent of the world's population
respectively and about 15 percent of
global GDP altogether. All of them
are G20 countries. By 2015, Internet
users in BRIC and Indonesia will double
to 1.2 billion. At 2009, Indonesia was
the only member of the G20 to lower
its public debt-to-GDP ratio: a positive
economic management indicator.
18. Nigeria is a middle-income, mixed economy and emerging market, with
expanding financial, service, communications, and entertainment sectors.
It is ranked 30th (40th in 2005, 52nd in 2000), in the world in terms
of Gross Domestic Product at purchasing power parity as of 2012, and
3rd largest within Africa (behind South Africa and Egypt), on track to
potentially becoming one of the 20 largest economies in the world by
2020. Its re-emergent, though currently under-performing,
manufacturing sector is the third-largest on the continent, and
produces a large proportion of goods and services for the West
African region.

20. Turkey's economy grew 10.3% last year, faster than China,
and was the third fastest growing economy in the world.
Economic growth came mainly from construction, rather
than exports like China and Russia. Construction alone
makes up 6% of the Turkish economy, but if one counts
the various industries related to construction (Steel,
Timber, energy used and purchased) construction and the
related industries made up some 30% of the economy.
Turkey
21. Turkey also has a very large domestic consumption base,
and some 3 major auto companies. In 2011 Turkey had the
world's 15th largest GDP-PPP and 18th largest Nominal
GDP. By 2050 this nominal GDP is set to grow to $4.45 trillion
USD to become the 14th largest nominal GDP in the world. The
country is a founding member of the OECD(1961) and the G-20
major economies (1999). Since December 31, 1995, it has been
part of the EU Customs Union. Mean wages were $8.71 per
man-hour in 2009. Turkey grew at an average rate of 7.5
percent between 2002 and 2006, faster than any other OECD
country.
22. According to a survey by Forbes magazine, Istanbul,
Turkey's financial capital, had a total of 28 billionaires
as of March 2010 (down from 34 in 2008), ranking
4th in the world behind New York City (60
billionaires), Moscow (50 billionaires), and London (32
billionaires). In 2012, Istanbul ranked 5th in the world
with 30 billionaires, behind Moscow (78 billionaires),
New York City (57 billionaires), London (39 billionaires),
and Hong Kong (38 billionaires). Turkey's major cities
and its Aegean coastline attract millions of visitors every
year.
The CIA classifies Turkey as a developed country. It
is often classified as a newly industrialized country by
economists and political scientists.
