Economy Rankings
From GDP and growth rates to wages and debt, these rankings map the financial forces shaping every country. See which economies lead, which are climbing, and what the numbers actually mean.
Countries by average monthly salary
Did you know the average monthly salary in the world's highest-paying countries is more than 50 times higher than in the lowest? The global wage gap is far wider than most people ever see in a single chart.
Countries by cost of living index
Did you know relocating from one of the world's most expensive cities to a mid-range country can effectively double your purchasing power overnight? Cost of living shapes quality of life as powerfully as income itself.
Countries by GDP growth rate
Did you know some of the world's fastest-growing economies are smaller nations you rarely hear about in financial headlines? Growth rate reveals which countries are quietly becoming powerhouses.
Countries by GDP (Nominal)
Did you know the US economy alone is larger than the next three countries combined? Nominal GDP measures a country's total economic firepower in today's dollars — no adjustments, no illusions.
Countries by GDP per capita
Did you know some small nations with no natural resources rank among the world's richest per capita? The secret has everything to do with institutions, education, and economic policy — not luck.
Countries by GDP (PPP)
Did you know China surpasses the US when GDP is adjusted for what money actually buys? PPP strips away currency distortions to reveal the true scale of each economy.
Countries by public debt (% of GDP)
Did you know Japan's public debt exceeds 250% of its GDP, yet it still functions as a global economic anchor? Debt ratios tell a complicated — and often counterintuitive — story about fiscal risk.
Countries by Consumer price index (2010 = 100)
South Sudan ranks 1st with a consumer price index of 41,280.7 (2010=100), meaning prices have risen more than 400-fold relative to the 2010 baseline. At the other end, the Cayman Islands ranks 189th with a value of 102.9, indicating prices have barely moved since 2010. The gap between these two extremes spans roughly 40,000 percentage points, reflecting vastly different inflation trajectories across the 189 countries covered.

The gap between these two figures spans more than 15.8 trillion percent, reflecting the fundamental incomparability of national currency units across countries.
Countries by Final consumption expenditure (% of GDP)
Kiribati ranks 1st with final consumption expenditure at 169.2% of GDP, meaning spending by households, government, and other resident units far exceeds domestic output. At the other end, Qatar records 32.4%, the lowest of 180 countries measured. The 136-percentage-point gap between these two extremes reflects the wide structural differences in how economies generate and spend income.
Countries by Gross national expenditure (current US$)
The United States ranks first in gross national expenditure in 2024 with $30.1 trillion, nearly 66% more than second-ranked China at $18.2 trillion. At the other end, the Marshall Islands ranks 177th with $413.6 million. The gap between first and last spans more than 72,800 times in absolute value.

Countries by Imports of goods and services (constant 2015 US$)
The United States ranks first in imports of goods and services at $3.70 trillion (constant 2015 US$), more than 33,000 times the value recorded by last-ranked Nauru at $108.99 million. China ranks second at $2.00 trillion, already $1.70 trillion behind the United States. The gap across the full ranking reflects the enormous variation in economic size, trade openness, and domestic production capacity among the 184 countries covered.
Countries by Imports of goods and services (constant LCU)
Iran, Islamic Rep. ranks 1st with an imports of goods and services value of 16,604,739,398,341,900 in constant local currency units, a figure so large it exceeds second-ranked Viet Nam's 6,229,570,737,059,400 by more than 2.6 times. At the opposite end, Palau ranks 172nd with just 178,260,238 constant LCU. The gap between top and bottom spans more than 9.3 quadrillion percent, reflecting the fundamental incomparability of local currency units across different national economies.
Countries by Manufacturing, value added (current US$)
China ranked 1st in manufacturing value added in 2024 with $4.66 trillion, nearly double the United States at rank 2 with $2.50 trillion. At the other end of the scale, Micronesia ranked 196th with just $2,386,700. The gap between the top and bottom of this ranking spans more than 195 billion percent.
Countries by Manufacturing, value added (current LCU)
Iran, Islamic Rep. ranks 1st in manufacturing value added measured in local currency units, recording 44,316,764,095,907,200 LCU, a figure driven heavily by currency scale rather than output volume alone. At the opposite end, Micronesia, Fed. Sts. records just 2,386,700 LCU, ranking 196th. The 1,856,821,724,285% spread between top and bottom reflects the fundamental problem of comparing this metric across countries with vastly different currencies and inflation histories.
Countries by Manufacturing, value added (constant 2015 US$)
China leads all 193 ranked countries in manufacturing value added at $3.20 trillion (constant 2015 US$), more than 1.5 times the United States at rank 2 with $2.12 trillion.

Iran, Islamic Rep. ranks 1st in industry (including construction) value added in local currency units, recording 77,631,075,812,725,100 LCU — a figure so large it reflects severe currency depreciation rather than outright productive dominance. At the other end, Tuvalu posts just 3,437,600 LCU, ranking 204th. The 2,258,292,873,204.8% spread between top and bottom is the defining feature of this metric: local currency units are not comparable across countries.
Countries by Industry (including construction), value added (constant 2015 US$)
China ranks first in industry (including construction) value added at $6.97 trillion in constant 2015 US dollars, more than double the United States at rank 2 with $3.38 trillion.

Iran, Islamic Rep. ranks 1st in services value added at 107,155,091,924,882,000 current LCU, a figure more than 11 times larger than Indonesia's 9,690,648,900,000,000 LCU at rank 2. At the bottom, Marshall Islands records just 194,346,033 LCU at rank 203. The enormous numerical spread across 203 countries reflects the use of local currency units rather than a common denominator, making direct cross-country comparison of absolute values unreliable.
Countries by Services, value added (constant 2015 US$)
The United States ranks first in services value added at $13.97 trillion (constant 2015 US$), more than $3.77 trillion ahead of second-ranked China at $10.19 trillion. At the opposite end, the Marshall Islands ranks 202nd at just $142.7 million. The range between first and last reflects a spread of more than 9,790,000 percent across 202 economies.
Countries by Services, value added (constant LCU)
Iran, Islamic Rep. ranks 1st in services value added measured in constant local currency units, recording a value of 36,814,408,259,799,500 LCU — a figure so large it reflects the effect of domestic currency scale rather than economic size alone. At the other end, Marshall Islands records 142,708,395 LCU, placing 194th. The gap between first and last spans roughly 25,796,946,381% in range, making direct cross-country comparison in absolute LCU terms effectively meaningless without currency conversion.
Countries by Services, value added (% of GDP)
Isle of Man ranks 1st globally with services comprising 95.15% of GDP, the highest share among 203 countries measured. At the opposite end, Guyana ranks 203rd at just 14.46%. The 80-percentage-point gap reflects how differently economies are structured across agriculture, industry, and services.
Countries by Adjusted savings: education expenditure (current US$)
The United States ranked first in adjusted savings education expenditure in 2021, recording $1.047 trillion in current US dollars — more than three times the second-ranked country, China, at $314.5 billion.

Countries by Adjusted savings: consumption of fixed capital (current US$)
China ranked first in consumption of fixed capital in 2021 with $4.66 trillion, followed by the United States at $3.83 trillion. At the other end, Tuvalu recorded just $6.68 million, rank 205 of 205. The gap between the top and bottom entries spans nearly 70 million percent, reflecting extreme differences in the scale of productive capital across economies.
Countries by Adjusted savings: consumption of fixed capital (% of GNI)
Ireland ranks first among 201 countries with a consumption of fixed capital rate of 34.64% of GNI in 2021, more than 28 percentage points above last-ranked Bangladesh at 1.23%. The gap reflects the wide variation in how much capital — machinery, infrastructure, buildings — economies consume relative to their total income. Since higher values indicate greater capital usage in production, the ranking spans economies at vastly different stages of capital intensity.
Countries by Adjusted savings: particulate emission damage (current US$)
China ranks 1st with $83.8 billion in particulate emission damage in 2021, more than double India's second-place figure of $36.8 billion. At the other end, Tonga ranks 178th with just $1.6 million.

Countries by Adjusted savings: particulate emission damage (% of GNI)
Somalia ranks 1st for particulate emission damage at 7.09% of GNI in 2021, meaning air pollution-related premature deaths cost the equivalent of more than 7% of its entire economy. Sweden, at the opposite end, records just 0.009% of GNI. The roughly 780-fold gap reflects how unevenly this form of environmental damage falls across countries at different income and development levels.
Countries by Adjusted savings: gross savings (% of GNI)
Qatar ranks 1st with gross savings equal to 52.2% of GNI in 2021, more than 66 percentage points above Libya, which sits last at -14.2%. Ireland and Singapore follow closely at ranks 2 and 3, with 51.3% and 50.3% respectively. The 66-percentage-point spread across 169 countries reflects wide variation in how much national income different economies retain after consumption.
Countries by Adjusted net national income (current US$)
The United States ranks 1st in adjusted net national income with $19.59 trillion in 2021, more than 54 times the value of last-ranked Kiribati at $359.7 million. The gap between the top and bottom of this 181-country ranking spans over 5.4 million percent. This range reflects the extreme concentration of national income among a small number of large economies.
Countries by Adjusted net national income (constant 2015 US$)
The United States ranks first in adjusted net national income at $17.48 trillion (constant 2015 US$), more than 95,000 times the value recorded by last-ranked Sao Tome and Principe at $183 million. China ranks second at $11.10 trillion, leaving a $6.37 trillion gap between the top two alone. The spread across all 179 countries reflects deep structural differences in economic scale, natural resource dependence, and capital consumption.
Countries by Exports as a capacity to import (constant LCU)
Iran, Islamic Rep. ranks 1st with an exports capacity to import value of 13,716,486,258,226,900 in constant local currency units, a figure so large it reflects the scale of Iran's currency denomination rather than trade dominance alone. At the other end, Kiribati ranks 172nd with a value of just 21,344,093. The gap between first and last spans more than 64 billion percent.
Countries by Coal rents (% of GDP)
Cabo Verde ranked 1st in coal rents as a percentage of GDP in 2021, with a value of 17.18%, a figure that dwarfs every major coal-producing nation in the dataset. At the other end, 130 countries recorded exactly 0.00%, reflecting no measurable coal rent relative to their economies. The gap between first and second place alone — 17.18% versus Mongolia's 4.89% — is wider than the entire range from rank 2 to rank 199.
Countries by Gross value added at basic prices (GVA) (current US$)
The United States ranks 1st in gross value added at basic prices with $22.49 trillion in 2024, a figure that dwarfs every other economy in the dataset. At the opposite end, Tuvalu ranks 199th with just $27.1 million. That gap of more than 830,000x separates the largest and smallest economies covered by this metric.
