Data notes & caveats
GDP means gross domestic product. Values are nominal current-dollar GDP, not purchasing-power-parity GDP. The IMF WEO vintage can revise historical-year values.
Methodology
Values use IMF WEO NGDPD, GDP current prices, for 2024.
Source consistency notes
All rows use the same IMF WEO indicator, year and unit.
