What is the GDP for United Arab Emirates, Ireland, Singapore, and Norway? Which economy in your opinion is the healthiest?

According to the CIA World Fact Book (see https://cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-f... ), the 2009 estimated national GDPs for these countries were: - Norway ........ $273.1B ...... 41st in world ranking - Singapore .. $235.7B ...... 49th in world ranking - UAE ............. $201.4B ...... 52nd in world ranking - Ireland ......... $176.9B ..... 57th in world ranking It appears Singapore's economy is the one seeing the most robust increase in the coming quarters. According to biz.thestar. Com (see biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/... ): - quote - Singapore's economy soared in the first three months of 2010, bouncing back from a contraction the previous quarter as manufacturing more than doubled.

Gross domestic product grew an annualized, seasonally adjusted 32.1 percent in the first quarter, led by a 139 percent jump in industrial production, the Trade and Industry Ministry said Wednesday. The economy grew 13.1 percent in the first quarter from the same period a year ago, and the government boosted its 2010 GDP forecast to between 7 percent and 9 percent from between 4.5 percent and 6.5 percent, the ministry said. Singapore's strong GDP numbers suggest Asia has emerged from last year's recession as a leading driver of global economic growth.

" It is interesting to note however, that the same source quotes Norway's GDP as $450B which is very significantly higher than that quoted by the CIA World Book. Ireland seems to still be suffering from the worldwide economic downturn of the past two years.

According to http://eupolitics.einnews.com/news/ireland-gdp : "Ireland records biggest state deficit in euro zone for 2009 ... 14.3 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP)". Finally, the UAE seems to be expecting a GDP growth rate of 2.5% in 2010 according to http://www.uaeinteract.com/news/default.asp?ID=242 with 5% growth expected in 2011. - quote - The UAE is likely to see real GDP growth of 2.5 per cent this year and double to five per cent next year as risk appetite grows and investments begin to flow into Dubai's real estate sector, analysts said yesterday.

Emirates NBD Chief Economist Tim Fox and Chief Investment Officer Gary Dugan said in a media roundtable yesterday that "an increasing number of our clients have started to put money towards real estate, Dubai's real estate. " - end quote.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
