This statistic shows the Economic Confidence Index, created by Gallup, on a monthly basis for the ongoing year. The survey is conducted doing weekly telephone interviews among approx. 2,499 adults in the U.S. The graph shows the results for the first update each month to depict an annual trend. The Index is computed by adding the percentage of Americans rating current economic conditions to the percentage saying the economy is (getting better minus getting worse), and then dividing that sum by 2. The Index has a value between null and +100. In December 2017, the U.S. Economic Confidence Index stood at 8.

The statistic shows the growth rate of the real gross domestic product (GDP) in the United States from 2019 to 2023, with projections up until 2029. GDP refers to the total market value of all goods and services that are produced within a country per year. It is an important indicator of the economic strength of a country. Real GDP is adjusted for price changes and is therefore regarded as a key indicator for economic growth. In 2023, the growth of the real gross domestic product in the United States was around 2.53 percent compared to the previous year. See U.S. GDP per capita and the US GDP for more information.

Real gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States

The gross domestic product (GDP) of a country is a crucial economic indicator, representing the market value of the total goods and services produced and offered by a country within a year, thus serving as one of the indicators of a country’s economic state. The real GDP of a country is defined as its gross domestic product adjusted for inflation.

An international comparison of economic growth rates has ranked the United States alongside other major global economic players such as China and Russia in terms of real GDP growth. With further growth expected during the course of the coming years, as consumer confidence continues to improve, experts predict that the worst is over for the United States economy.

A glance at US real GDP figures reveals an overall increase in growth, with sporadic slips into decline; the last recorded decline took place in Q1 2011. All in all, the economy of the United States can be considered ‘well set’, with exports and imports showing positive results. Apart from this fact, the United States remains one of the world’s leading exporting countries, having been surpassed only by China and tailed by Germany. It is also ranked first among the top global importers. Despite this, recent surveys revealing Americans’ assessments of the U.S. economy have yielded less optimistic results. Interestingly enough, this consensus has been mutual across the social and environmental spectrum. On the other hand, GDP is often used as an indicator for the standard of living in a country – and most Americans seem quite happy with theirs.

As of November 2020, 40 percent of respondents said they think the U.S. economy will get worse if Donald Trump is reelected president in 2020. However, nine percent said that they believe the U.S. economy will stay the same.

This survey shows the top 10 states in the U.S. with the highest Economic confidence in 2011. The Economic Confidence Index is based on the average differences between Americans' assessments of current conditions and their views of whether the economy is getting better or worse. The Index has a theoretical range of -100 to +100, with negative scores indicating respondents are more negative than positive about the economy. In 2011, the value for District of Columbia was -4, which was the highest score in the United States.

Russia's gross domestic product (GDP) was estimated to have increased by 3.2 percent in October 2024 compared to the same month of the previous year. In April 2023, the monthly GDP growth was positive for the first time since March 2022. In April 2020, the country’s GDP fell by nearly 10 percent as a result of the crisis caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic as well as the oil price crash. Russian economy outlook for 2025 Russia’s annual GDP was projected to increase by 1.35 percent in 2025. The level of prices in the country was expected to continue growing, with the inflation rate forecast at 4.7 percent in that year. Post-pandemic economic recovery in selected countries Countries across the world saw a sharp decrease in GDP in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2023, the European Commission foresaw an increase in all European Union (EU) members' GDP, ranging from the lowest of 1.1 percent in Sweden and Italy to the highest of five percent in Ireland. In Latin America, the most significant increase in GDP was recorded in Peru, at 5.2 percent in 2022.

This statistic shows the national debt of Greece from 2019 to 2023, with projections until 2029. In 2023, the national debt in Greece was around 382.04 billion U.S. dollars. In a ranking of debt to GDP per country, Greece is currently ranked third. Greece's struggle after the financial crisis Greece is a developed country in the EU and is highly dependent on its service sector as well as its tourism sector in order to gain profits. After going through a large economic boom from the 1950s to the 1970s as well as somewhat high GDP growth in the early to mid 2000s, Greece’s economy took a turn for the worse and struggled intensively, primarily due to the Great Recession, the Euro crisis as well as its own debt crisis. National debt within the country saw significant gains over the past decades, however roughly came to a halt due to financial rescue packages issued from the European Union in order to help Greece maintain and improve their economical situation. The nation’s continuous rise in debt has overwhelmed its estimated GDP over the years, which can be attributed to poor government execution and unnecessary spending. Large sums of financial aid were taken from major European banks to help balance out these government-induced failures and to potentially help refuel the economy to encourage more spending, which in turn would decrease the country’s continuously rising unemployment rate. Investors, consumers and workers alike are struggling to see a bright future in Greece, whose chances of an economic comeback are much lower than that of other struggling countries such as Portugal and Italy. However, Greece's financial situation might improve in the future, as it is estimated that at least its national debt will decrease - slowly, but steadily. Still, since its future participation in the European Union is in limbo as of now, these figures can only be estimates, not predictions.

The statistic depicts the average inflation rate in Mexico from 1987 to 2022, with projections up until 2029. The inflation rate measures price changes for a fixed basket of goods which includes a representative selection of goods and services. In 2022, Mexico's average inflation rate was around 7.9 percent compared to the previous year.

Mexico’s economy

Mexico’s gross domestic product (GDP) has been increasing slightly over the last decade, however, its national debt still amounts to almost half of its GDP. The majority of Mexico’s GDP is yielded by the services sector, as a look at the distribution of gross domestic product in Mexico by sector shows. More than 60 percent of GDP are generated in this sector; the majority of the Mexican workforce is employed in services. One important contributor to Mexico’s GDP is tourism. The total unemployment rate in Mexico took a turn for the worse during the recession of 2008 and is still to bounce back to previous levels.

Mexico’s main export and import partner is the United States which accounts for approximately half of the value of both. Thus, the trade balance of goods in Mexico, showing the value of exports minus the value of imports, is heavily dependant on the United States. For the past decade, Mexico’s trade balance has run at a deficit of more than 10 billion US dollars. The trade balance of services sector in Mexico has also been in the red with a deficit of more than 6 percent since the recession and higher than 9 percent since 2011.

Mexico is also one of the largest drug exporting countries worldwide. Specific trade figures are not available, however, Mexico is among the top countries for opium cultivation based on acreage, and thousands of illegal poppy fields, processed into opium, have been destroyed in Mexico year after year.

In the best case scenario in 2020, which is defined as a two month duration of travel bans and a sharp decline in domestic demand, the monetary loss of global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is expected to be about 76.7 billion U.S. dollars due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. In a worse case scenario, defined as a six month duration of travel bans, the global GDP is predicted to lose about 346.98 billion U.S. dollars.

This statistic shows Iran's export of goods from 2013 to 2023. In 2023, Iran exported goods approximately worth 97.36 billion U.S. dollars. Iran's export struggle The Iranian economy was not spared from the global economic crisis in 2009, but Iranian exports seemed to recover from the global economic recession in 2011 at first. However, export figures dropped thereafter because of sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union (EU) due to supposed Iran nuclear activities. This new round of sanctions spurred negative growth in 2012 and 2013 and growth dropped during the same period by around 200 billion U.S. dollars. While Iran has one of the largest oil reserves globally, daily oil production has decreased significantly since the first sanctions from the United States were put in place back in 1978. Because of a history of sanctions from Europe and the United States, neither region is among Iran’s most important export partners. While Iran had been hoping to emerge from sanctions this year, hoping to overcome international isolation and recovering lost revenue, recent tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran may cripple their progress. Saudi Arabia would prefer the sanctions against Iran remain, since relations between the two countries have gotten worse. Additionally, where Saudi Arabia is a stronger ally to the west concerning Syria, Iran leans the other way. This situation could leave Iran once again struggling to overcome its isolation from the west.
