I found this chart to be a nice representation of relative GDPs given the Davos meeting:

Who's who at Davos

Jan 25th 2011, 15:57 by The Economist online

Does the World Economic Forum represent the world?

THE World Economic Forum’s annual shindig begins on January 26th in the Swiss ski resort of Davos-Klosters. Now in its 30th year, the invitation-only event is a forum for around 2,000 delegates to discuss and even remedy the world’s ills, twice as many as came in 2001. The ostentatious location of the gathering is enough to earn it accusations of elitism, and indeed it has faced much criticism for appearing to act only in the interests of the rich world. But in recent years China and India have begun to take more seats at the proverbial table, advances that finally reflect their increasing economic prowess. The chart ascribes nationality according to place of work, so Switzerland's representation at the forum—disproportionate to its contribution to world GDP—owes much to the presence there of many non-governmental organisations.
 
Wow, the chunk of Chinese GDP in 2011 is around the same size as the "other developing countries" category. Bigger than I thought.

Also, I agree with the article, the number of "delegates" for both Switzerland and Britain, FAR exceeds their actual economic size.

Well that and the fact that they are world financial hubs where many other countries do their financial transactions. I think Singapore, HK and Shanghai will give those two places a run for their money in the coming years.

not that much actually. it is gdp by purchasing power parity, we all know PPP is bu-kaopu.
 
I like how america's share in world GDP is decreasing with increasing chinese and indian gdps! wawahwoah [borat style]. :D
It has more to do with recession. However, recession will not last forever. And some countries which are manipulating their currencies will not get away with it for long.
