This dataset provides values for GDP reported in several countries. The data includes current values, previous releases, historical highs and record lows, release frequency, reported unit and currency.

In 2025, the United States had the largest economy in the world, with a gross domestic product of over 30.6 trillion U.S. dollars. China was the world's second-largest economy, at around 19.4 trillion U.S. dollars. A distant third, Germany's GDP was just over five trillion dollars this year, followed by Japan at 4.28 trillion and India at 4.13 trillion. Global gross domestic product Global gross domestic product amounted to approximately 117.2 trillion U.S. dollars in 2025, with the United States making up more than one-quarter of this figure alone. The eleven largest economies in the world include all G7 economies, as well as the four largest BRICS economies. The U.S. has consistently had the world's largest economy since the interwar period, and while previous reports estimated it would be overtaken by China in the 2020s, more recent projections estimate the U.S. economy will remain the largest by a considerable margin going into the 2030s. Calculating GDP The gross domestic product of a country is calculated by taking spending and trade into account to show how much the country can produce in a certain amount of time, usually per year. It represents the value of all goods and services produced during that year. Those countries considered to have emerging or developing economies account for over 60 percent of global gross domestic product, while advanced economies make up just under 40 percent.

The average for 2023 based on 188 countries was 0.53 percent. The highest value was in the USA: 26.3 percent and the lowest value was in Andorra: 0 percent. The indicator is available from 1980 to 2023. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

This dataset contains the GDP of every country from 1960 to 2022.

The GDP figures are measured in current U.S. dollars and represent the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in each country's economy. This encompasses not only the production value but also takes into account any product taxes while subtracting subsidies that are not included in the value of products.

The conversion of domestic currencies to U.S. dollars is based on single-year official exchange rates, ensuring accuracy and consistency across the dataset. For countries where the official exchange rate might not wholly reflect actual foreign exchange transactions, alternative conversion factors have been employed for precision.

In 2025, Liechtenstein had the highest gross domestic product per capita in the world at just over 231,700 U.S. dollars. The top five largest economies in terms of GDP per capita were all in Europe, with the Singapore having the largest GDP per capita in the rest of the world. The United States had the largest GDP per capita among American countries, while Qatar had the largest GDP per capita in the Middle East. Correlation with high living standards While GDP is a useful indicator for measuring the size or strength of an economy, GDP per capita is much more reflective of living standards. For example, when compared to life expectancy or indices such as the Human Development Index or the World Happiness Report, there is a strong overlap - 14 of the 20 countries on this list are also ranked among the 20 happiest countries in 2024, and all 20 have "very high" HDIs. Misleading metrics? GDP per capita figures, however, can be misleading, and to paint a fuller picture of a country's living standards then one must look at multiple metrics. GDP per capita figures can be skewed by inequalities in wealth distribution, and in countries such as those in the Middle East, a relatively large share of the population lives in poverty while a smaller number live affluent lifestyles.

In 1938, the year before the Second World War, the United States had, by far, the largest economy in the world in terms of gross domestic product (GDP). The five Allied Great Powers that emerged victorious from the war, along with the three Axis Tripartite Pact countries that were ultimately defeated made up the eight largest independent economies in 1938.

When values are converted into 1990 international dollars, the U.S. GDP was over 800 billion dollars in 1938, which was more than double that of the second largest economy, the Soviet Union. Even the combined economies of the UK, its dominions, and colonies had a value of just over 680 billion 1990 dollars, showing that the United States had established itself as the world's leading economy during the interwar period (despite the Great Depression).

Interestingly, the British and Dutch colonies had larger combined GDPs than their respective metropoles, which was a key motivator for the Japanese invasion of these territories in East Asia during the war. Trade with neutral and non-belligerent countries also contributed greatly to the economic development of Allied and Axis powers throughout the war; for example, natural resources from Latin America were essential to the American war effort, while German manufacturing was often dependent on Swedish iron supplies.

In 2025, the world's gross domestic product amounted to approximately 117.2 trillion U.S. dollars, compared with 111.1 trillion in 2024. GDP has increased throughout most of this time period, with noticeable dips occurring after the global financial crisis in 2008 and following the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Measuring GDP Gross domestic product is the accumulated value of all finished goods and services produced in a country, often measured annually. GDP is significant in determining the economic health, growth, and productivity in the country and is a data point often used when comparing different countries. The United States is by far the world's biggest economy, with a GDP of approximately 30.6 trillion dollars in 2025, followed by China at around 19.4 trillion dollars. When adjusted for purchasing power, however, China's economy was the largest, at over 41 billion dollars. Unemployment and Inflation Strong GDP growth rate does, however, have the potential to push inflation rates up due to demand increasing at a much higher rate than supply, resulting in price rises. The global inflation crisis of 2021-2023 started in this way, with global supply chains struggling to bounce back after the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with GDP and inflation, unemployment is another key indicator of a country's economic health, with strong economic growth usually dovetailing with low unemployment.

The statistic shows the 20 countries with the largest proportion of the global gross domestic product (GDP) based on Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) in 2024. In 2023, Germany had an estimated share of about 3.06 percent of the global GDP.

The gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States amounted to **** trillion U.S. dollars in 2023, making it the largest economy in the G20 and the largest worldwide. China was the second largest economy in that year, with a GDP valued at **** trillion U.S. dollars. It is worth noticing that while the U.S. GDP was forecast to increase by around **** trillion U.S. dollars until 2027, China's GDP is forecast to grow by around *** trillion U.S. dollars in the same time.

Gross domestic product (GDP) per capita is a crucial economic indicator that represents the average economic output per person in a given country or region. It is calculated by dividing the total GDP by the population size. This metric is often used to compare the economic performance of different countries and assess the relative prosperity of their citizens. Two commonly used versions of this indicator are GDP per capita at current prices and GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP). GDP per capita at current prices reflects the total economic output of a country divided by its population, using the market prices of goods and services at the time of measurement. This metric provides a snapshot of the economic activity within a country without adjusting for inflation or differences in the cost of living across regions. Global GDP per capita at current prices (PPP) provides a measure of the average economic output per person, adjusted for the differences in the cost of living between countries. This adjustment allows for a more accurate comparison of living standards and economic productivity across different nations.
