United Kingdom UK: GDP: USD: Gross National Income per Capita: Atlas Method data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s UK – Table UK.World Bank: Gross Domestic Product: Nominal. GNI per capita (formerly GNP per capita) is the gross national income, converted to U.S. dollars using the World Bank Atlas method, divided by the midyear population. GNI is the sum of value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output plus net receipts of primary income (compensation of employees and property income) from abroad. GNI, calculated in national currency, is usually converted to U.S. dollars at official exchange rates for comparisons across economies, although an alternative rate is used when the official exchange rate is judged to diverge by an exceptionally large margin from the rate actually applied in international transactions. To smooth fluctuations in prices and exchange rates, a special Atlas method of conversion is used by the World Bank. This applies a conversion factor that averages the exchange rate for a given year and the two preceding years, adjusted for differences in rates of inflation between the country, and through 2000, the G-5 countries (France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States). From 2001, these countries include the Euro area, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.; ; World Bank national accounts data, and OECD National Accounts data files.; Weighted Average;

In 2025, Luxembourg was the country with the highest gross domestic product per capita in the world. Of the 20 listed countries, 13 are in Europe and five are in Asia, alongside the U.S. and Australia. There are no African or Latin American countries among the top 20. 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.

The World Bank is a treasure trove of information. :- https://data.worldbank.org/

Generally the Gross Domestic Product of a country = the total output of the country = measure of development/total affluence of the country is measured by indicators such as household spending, government spending, level of investments etc.

Please see Bank of England explanation of GDP here :- http://edu.bankofengland.co.uk/knowledgebank/what-is-gdp/

I have argued that GDP could instead be measured better by primary indicators that lead to these what I call "secondary indicators".

Primary indicators are such as :- level of education. I hypothesize that a higher level of education leads to higher household income and hence higher household spending. So does knowing education levels of a country allow us to predict the GDP of the country?

I have used the list of primary indicators below to do a regression of the GDP per person :- (1) Women making informed choices regarding healthcare - The null hypotheses (H0)----> is the higher the level of women's education - the higher the level of national education and lesser infant mortality rates(which might be a stretch) and hence higher household income --> higher household spending ---> higher GDP. (2) Rural Population % - The null hypotheses (H0) is -----> higher rural population ----> lower per capita household income----> lower level of household spending----> lower GDP. (3) Ratio of Population having education ----> similar to above. You get the point hopefully by now... if not read a introductory macroeconomics textbook or course like this :- https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-economics-macroeconomics-snux-snu044-088-2x-0 (4) Legal Rights Strength Index-----> This actually comes from Islam. In Islam - the affluence of a country is related to truthfulness, rule of law being abided in the country etc.. For those who can understand Urdu/Hindi - please watch this video :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLjicUv0KYs (5) Credit to Private Sector -----> easier it is to open a business, work on ideas-----> higher should be the output of the country (6) Births attended by Skilled Staff ------> less infant mortality ----> indicates higher level of education and health care in the country ------> can indicate higher government spending among other factors ------>and should translate to higher level of GDP. (6) ATMMachines Ratio per 1000 people ---------> Higher level -----> shows finance is easily available -----> institutions are developed -----> maybe even indicates better public infrastructure-----> should indicate higher personal and government funding. (7) Agricultural Machines per hectare of land ------> higher automation -----> better access to finance for rural areas ------> should lead to higher GDP. (8) Literacy Rate Adults -----> the higher level of education in adults ----> higher private spending -----> should lead to higher GDP. (9) Accounts Ratio Financial Institutions -----> how many people have bank accounts who are male and over 15 ------> shows level of private spending-----> level of finance and infrastructure and hence government funding maybe -----> higher GDP.

The gross domestic product of the United Kingdom in 2024 was around 2.78 trillion British pounds, an increase when compared to the previous year, when UK GDP amounted to about 2.75 trillion pounds. The significant drop in GDP visible in 2020 was due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the smaller declines in 2008 and 2009 because of the global financial crisis of the late 2000s. Low growth problem in the UK Despite growing by 0.9 percent in 2024, and 0.4 percent in 2023 the UK economy is not that much larger than it was before the COVID-19 pandemic. Since recovering from a huge fall in GDP in the second quarter of 2020, the UK economy has alternated between periods of contraction and low growth, with the UK even in a recession at the end of 2023. While economic growth picked up somewhat in 2024, GDP per capita is lower than it was in 2022, following two years of negative growth. UK's global share of GDP falling As of 2024, the UK had the sixth-largest economy in the world, behind the United States, China, Japan, Germany, and India. Among European nations, this meant that the UK currently has the second-largest economy in Europe, although the economy of France, Europe's third-largest economy, is of a similar size. The UK's global economic ranking will likely fall in the coming years, however, with the UK's share of global GDP expected to fall from 2.16 percent in 2025 to 2.02 percent by 2029.
