Fortune 500 companies: 7 in India, 27 in Germany, 365,438+0 in France, China and the United States?

The list of the world's top 500 companies is usually called a barometer of the world economy. In my opinion, although the world's top 500 companies can't reflect the whole picture of a country or region's economy, they can reflect some typical characteristics of a country or region's economic development to some extent. Earlier this year, Fortune magazine published the latest list of the world's top 500 companies. Of course, this is the 26th consecutive year that it has published the list of the world's largest companies. So, which countries are the companies in this list mainly from?

France (3 1). In this world top 500 list, there are 3 1 companies in France, such as Total, AXA, Carrefour, Dior, L 'Oreal and so on. As the most romantic country in the west, cosmetics and luxury goods have become synonymous with France. Of course, some of France's top 500 companies also come from luxury goods and beauty cosmetics.

In addition, like many countries, France's energy industry has also spawned some Fortune 500 companies, such as Total. Total, founded in 1920, is one of the six largest oil companies in the world. As a French energy giant, Total is involved in the exploration and development of crude oil and natural gas, power generation, transportation, oil refining and sales of petroleum products. Of course, its vast business map also makes it the largest Fortune 500 enterprise in France.

Germany (27). Germany, which is famous for its industrial manufacturing, has 27 enterprises in the latest list of the world's top 500 enterprises. Among these listed companies, we see more enterprises related to industrial manufacturing, such as Volkswagen, Daimler, BMW Group, Siemens, Bosch Group, Continental Group and so on. These enterprises cover automobile manufacturing, auto parts and other industries. Of course, the existence of many German automobile manufacturing enterprises and auto parts enterprises has formed a rich ecological chain of automobile manufacturing, thus allowing German cars to travel all over the world.

Fortune 500 companies: French 365,438+0, German 27, USA and China?

United States (12 1). In the list of the world's top 500 companies in 2020, * * there are 12 1 companies from the United States. In 2000, there were 179 Fortune 500 companies in the United States. In other words, in the past 20 years, the number of American companies on the world's top 500 list has decreased by 58. However, this does not mean the decline of American enterprises. For example, among the 50 most profitable Fortune 500 companies in the world, American companies account for about half.

It is reported that the average profit of the world's top 500 companies is 4 1 billion dollars, while the average profit of American companies in the world's top 500 list has reached 7 billion dollars. Strong profitability is a typical feature of American enterprises. In fact, the monopoly of core technology is the key for American enterprises to create considerable profits.

For example, in the list of the world's top 500 supercomputers released by the media recently, Intel contributed 965,438+0.8% processors to these supercomputers with top computing power, while AMD provided 4.2% processors. In other words, in the field of CPU, the leading position of American enterprises is hard to be shaken in a short time.

In the latest world top 500 list, there are 133 enterprises in China. In 2000, there were only 10 Fortune 500 enterprises in China. That is to say, in the past 20 years, the number of China Fortune 500 enterprises has increased by 123. In fact, this is inseparable from the gratifying economic growth in China in recent years.

In 2000, China's GDP was about 1.2 1 trillion dollars, ranking sixth in the world. By 2020, according to media forecasts, China's annual GDP is expected to reach 103 trillion yuan, ranking second in the world.

In 2020, affected by the epidemic, the economic downturn has become a typical feature of the world's major economies. However, with the effective control of the China epidemic, China's economy is gradually recovering and taking off. In the first quarter of this year, China's GDP decreased by 6.8%, increased by 3.2% in the second quarter, and increased by 4.9% in the third quarter. The GDP growth rate in the fourth quarter is expected to approach or reach 6%. The "low before and high after" GDP growth rate vividly highlights the strong resilience of China's economic growth.

The times are developing and the economy is progressing. I believe that in the near future, more and more China enterprises will appear in the list of the world's top 500. What did you say?/Sorry?
