Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday said that India is likely to surpass the UK to become the world's fifth-largest economy next year. India's gross domestic product (GDP) was valued at $2.6 trillion at the end of 2017, overtaking France. However, France's GDP per capita is roughly 20 times higher than India's due to the size of its population.
