About this ranking

Annual percentage change in real GDP per person, from GDP at constant 2015 US dollars divided by mid-year population. World Bank national accounts data, compiled from national statistical offices and central banks and from OECD national accounts files.

Below gdp_growth when the population grows, above it when the population shrinks. Wars and oil shocks move it by tens of points in a year.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the countries are compared on one definition. 5 countries with data in other periods have no value for 2022 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
