A tiger economy is a name given to a country which undergoes rapid economic growth and usually an accompanying increase in standard of living. The term was initially used for South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan (Four Asian Tigers), and in the 1990s it was applied to Ireland (the Celtic Tiger).
