Explore GDP on a world map Select a country or economy
Choose a shape or a capital marker to open its history. The country selector below covers all economies.
Simplified Natural Earth boundaries; small economies may use World Bank capital coordinates. Shapes and labels do not express a view on legal status or boundaries. Grey means no observation for the selected year.
Shared major economies · 2025
The default primary cards use the same 15 jointly covered economies across all five global trackers, ordered by 2025 nominal GDP in World Bank WDI. Phones initially show the same first 8 entries. This is the default introductory selection, not a ranking of the displayed indicator. Choosing Highest, Lowest or A–Z sorts every available economy, including the primary cards. The euro area is distinct from the European Union; definitions and historical membership follow each official source. Other economies remain in the closed More economies panel.

Nominal GDP (NY.GDP.MKTP.CD) is measured in current US dollars. Changes can reflect domestic prices, exchange rates and production. Real GDP growth (NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG) is the provider-published annual real growth rate; it is not calculated from current-dollar GDP. GDP per capita (NY.GDP.PCAP.CD) is GDP divided by population in current US dollars. It is an average, not wages, household income or a complete measure of wellbeing. Neither dollar measure is adjusted for purchasing-power parity.
Rankings use exactly the selected year and metric. The initial year is the most recent completed year with observations for at least 75% of economies that have any history for that metric. The coverage count is shown; this is not a claim that every economy has reported. The European Union is shown as an explicitly labelled comparison aggregate in the cards, history selector and charts. It is excluded from country rankings, coverage thresholds and map colour thresholds; other regional and income aggregates remain excluded. EU and euro-area values are the World Bank EUU and EMU series, not a Silver Dominion sum or a Euro Area series. Historical membership and aggregation follow the provider. Territories and economies follow the World Bank catalog. Historical gaps, unavailable values and future years are not filled. Changes in national boundaries, accounting methods and revisions can affect long comparisons.
The history panel independently follows each selected economy’s available annual history. A missing country-year is shown as —. Dollar charts use a linear common axis; a small economy can look flat beside a large one. Table and CSV values preserve more precision than compact card labels.

GDP by Country: Comparing the World’s Largest Economies
Gross domestic product (GDP) measures the value of goods and services produced within an economy over a given period. It is one of the most widely used indicators for comparing economic size, tracking growth and understanding how countries contribute to the global economy.
The Global GDP Tracker brings together official World Bank data to compare GDP by country, annual economic growth and GDP per capita. Historical figures help reveal how major economies have developed over time, from established industrial nations to rapidly expanding emerging markets.
A country’s total GDP reflects the scale of its economy, but size alone does not indicate how quickly it is growing or how prosperous its residents are. These distinctions matter when interpreting global economic rankings.
How to Compare GDP Growth and GDP per Capita
Nominal GDP, expressed in current U.S. dollars, is useful for comparing the economic size of different countries. However, changes in exchange rates and prices can influence dollar-denominated GDP even when underlying production changes relatively little.
Real GDP growth measures changes in economic output after adjusting for price effects. A smaller economy may grow substantially faster than a much larger one without approaching its total output.
GDP per capita divides economic production by population. It provides another perspective on economic development, although it does not measure household income, wealth distribution or living standards directly.
Inflation also matters when interpreting economic performance. Comparing GDP growth with global inflation rates helps distinguish rising prices from expanding production.
Economic growth can influence monetary policy, while differences in central bank interest rates affect borrowing costs and investment conditions.
For a more detailed view of quarterly economic activity in the United States, the U.S. GDP Growth Tracker examines domestic growth, consumer spending and private demand.
Why Global GDP Growth Matters for Financial Markets and Precious Metals
Economic growth influences corporate earnings, government finances, commodity consumption and investor expectations. Stronger activity can support demand for industrial materials, while slower growth may weaken consumption and investment.
For precious metals, the implications differ.
Silver is particularly sensitive to industrial activity, making global economic growth an important part of its demand outlook. Gold is influenced more heavily by monetary conditions, investment demand, central bank purchases and perceptions of financial risk.
Slowing growth may encourage monetary easing, but it can also coincide with financial stress or weaker industrial demand. Changes in global government bond yields provide additional insight into borrowing costs and market expectations across countries.
Investors can also examine how precious metals have historically behaved alongside monetary indicators using the Gold & Silver Macro Comparison Dashboard.
GDP statistics generally represent annual reporting periods and may be revised as new information becomes available. Country rankings should therefore be compared using consistent years and clearly identified measures.
No single GDP figure can predict financial market performance. Understanding economic size, real growth and per-capita output together provides a more useful foundation for interpreting global trends.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Global GDP Tracker?
The Global GDP Tracker compares economic performance across countries using official World Bank data. It provides information on GDP by country, annual economic growth, GDP per capita and historical trends, helping users explore differences between major economies.
Which countries have the largest GDP?
The United States and China are the world’s largest economies when measured by nominal GDP in current U.S. dollars. Other major economies include Germany, Japan and India. Rankings can change over time and differ when GDP is measured using purchasing power parity.
What is the difference between nominal GDP and real GDP?
Nominal GDP measures economic output using current prices, without removing the effects of inflation. Real GDP adjusts for price changes, making it more useful for measuring changes in production over time. Comparing nominal GDP in U.S. dollars also involves exchange-rate movements between national currencies.
What does GDP per capita tell us about a country?
GDP per capita divides a country’s total economic output by its population. It is commonly used to compare average economic production across countries. However, it does not directly measure household wealth, income inequality or the overall quality of life.
How is GDP growth calculated?
GDP growth measures the percentage change in economic output between reporting periods. Real GDP growth adjusts for changes in prices, providing a clearer picture of whether an economy is expanding or contracting. Annual growth rates allow comparisons between countries, although revisions and national statistical methods can affect reported figures.
How does global GDP growth affect gold and silver?
Global economic growth influences industrial activity, monetary policy expectations and investment demand. Silver is particularly sensitive to industrial consumption, while gold responds more strongly to real interest rates, currency movements and demand for financial protection. Stronger GDP growth does not automatically mean higher or lower metal prices.
How often is GDP by country data updated?
The Global GDP Tracker uses World Bank statistics, which are generally updated as annual national accounts data become available. Publication schedules differ between countries, and historical figures may be revised. The latest available reporting year should be checked when comparing GDP rankings and economic growth across countries.
