California already beat the world’s seventh-largest Brazil and sixth-largest France in terms of economic size in 2015 and fifth-largest Britain in 2017.
At this rate, California is expected to overtake Germany, the world’s fourth-largest economy and the pillar of Europe’s No. 1 EU, in terms of GDP.
Leading companies, including Apple, and high-tech industrial capabilities are driving California’s economy like crazy.
One U.S. state has the second largest economic power after the U.S., China, and Japan.
