That depends on how you look at it ...

japan has always been in the top and since the dragon in the east awoke china

however, if you look at living standards per individual you'll singapore on top

gdp "pro capita"

• Qatar — $129,112
• Luxembourg — $107,737
• Macao SAR — $98,323
• Singapore — $90,724
• Brunei — $76,568
• Ireland — $72,529
• Kuwait — 71,307
• Norway — $70,666
• United Arab Emirates — $68,425
• Switzerland — $61,014

surprisingly (or not actually) luxembourg, which is about half a towel big ... is almost ring-leader even way above switzerland (in europe) ... none of the big ones even make it to the top ten when it comes to living standard

they just get a lot of output that generates massive input for a happy few

(investopedia , among others)

i take this hellhole i live in and look at average wage it tells me that's close to Singapore, which is totally not, the real numbers would be closer to less than half of it

why is that ?

because a very few make a WHOLE LOT of money, statistics shift to the right side as they call that

so it depends on what you mean by "large economy" i guess

to see luxembourg right after Qatar lol, its a miracle why they havent left the Union, i think thats why they put junker in charge for a bit

a small place like that with a load of money , also shifts statistics to the right, makes the EU look a lot better than it is (for the record norway and switzerland arent actually part of it on most levels, the EU, is nothing like the US , it works on different levels it like several types of unions interweaved and the central authority has no real actual authority like washington would ... it also doesn't have its own army and the president is therefor not the commander in chief, its very confusing to outsiders since its barely understandable to insiders hahah)

as usual, yours truly, not being able to answer with yes or no
