The top economic growth and fiscal performances in 2007 are likely to be from countries outside the ranks of the most developed Western nations, according to a new set of sovereign risk forecasts from Standard & Poor's Ratings Services.
The US is set to drop out of the 10 rated countries with the highest GDP per capita in 2007, while Russia will continue its star performance of recent years, becoming one of the 10 largest economies (as measured by GDP), having been in 18th place as recently as 2000.
