What the Data Shows
Real GDP growth is compared across World Bank WDI nations for 2025. The metric is an annual percent change in real GDP, so it compares growth rates rather than GDP size. Guyana ranks first at 19.34% annual rate, ahead of Libya by 5.96 percentage points. Benin is the lowest listed nation at 8.07% annual rate, leaving a range of 11.26 percentage points from first to last.

Data notes & caveats
Annual percent changes are growth rates, not shares of a common total. Nation coverage can vary by WDI indicator and period. The ranking uses nations available for the selected indicator and year, excluding aggregate regions where they appear. Values are rounded for display while preserving the source ranking.
Methodology
The ranking uses World Bank WDI nation observations for real GDP growth in 2025. Aggregate regions and income groups are excluded where they appear in the source. Values are ordered from highest to lowest using the same source family, period and unit. Gaps and multiples compare the ranked values directly.
Source consistency notes
Entries use the same World Bank WDI source family, indicator, period and unit, supporting a like-for-like ranking across reporting nations.
