How to read these rankings

Does a larger economy mean richer people? Population affects total GDP. Compare GDP per capita and purchasing power to see another perspective.

These are published statistics, not live market data. Source agencies may revise them.

The reference year is 2024, the latest year included for this indicator. Only countries with data for that year are compared.

Sources & method

Only same-year observations are compared. Missing observations are not replaced with zero or another year. Equal values share a rank. World shares use the World Bank world total. Boundaries are shown for statistical comparison.
