Singapore’s GDP compared with other cities’

The GDP of Singapore, New York, London and other cities

London’s GDP is higher than South Africa’s while New York’s GDP is more than twice as big as London’s and four times as much as Singapore’s.  That is according to the World Cities Culture Report 2012. Paris has a higher GDP than London but only half that of New York.  All the figures are based on purchasing power parity.
