Turkey is among the countries whose geopolitical importance would increase in 2025, according to a US intelligence report quoted by daily Hurriyet.

Global Trends 2025 is published every four years by the National Intelligence Council to give leaders insight into looming problems and opportunities.

The report forecasts a geopolitical rise in non-Arab Muslim states outside of the Middle East, including Turkey and Indonesia, and suggests that Iran could also be a central player in a new world order if it sheds its theocracy.

The reports also predicts that in 2025 global warming could help Russiΰs economy, an Eastern or Central European country could be overrun by organized crime and the U.S. dollar could further decline in importance during the next two decades.

The report says the warming earth will extend Russia's growing season and ease access to northern oil fields, which will strengthen its economy.

But Russia' s potential emergence as a world power may be clouded by lagging investment in its energy sector, persistent crime and government corruption, the report says.
