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. 10 countries with data in other periods have no value for 2023 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
