The pandemic has made adjustments to the list of the world's largest economies.
This is evidenced by an analysis of the International Monetary Fund's
Fund on the state of the global economy, conducted by
CNBC. To assess the ranking of countries were used data on
nominal GDP from the database of the fund. Despite the fact that
the top four - the United States, China, Japan, Germany -
remained unchanged, one country (Brazil) dropped out of the top 10.
Against the backdrop of the pandemic, the countries of the world faced the worst and most severe crisis

were India, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Brazil and Canada
(based on 2019 data). Last year, however, Brazil left the list,
South Korea took its place, and the fifth position went to
The U.K., which pushed India down to the sixth positio
