In the economy one calls the three largest national economies of the world, thus the NAFTA, the European Union and the industrialized Eastern Asia (Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore) triad (in the broader sense). If one takes off on national states, then triad (strictly speaking) the three largest national economies the USA, Japan and Germany are called.

According to the World development report 2006 of the World Bank combines the triad (the USA, Japan, FRG) nearly half of the world gross national income (BNE), measured in US Dollar (thus not in purchasing power parities), on itself. Live in the triad only scarcely eight per cent of the population of world. Beginning of the 1990er years could the countries of the triad however still over half of the world BNEs (still proven as GROS DOMESTIC PRODUCT at that time) on itself combine.
