Current-US-dollar GDP measures economic size at market exchange rates. Currency movements can change its value even without a change in output. Total GDP is not a measure of individual living standards; PPP provides a comparison using comparable price levels.

Country desks use the same observations as the all-countries pages. Displayed observations use each economy’s latest published year, which can differ between economies. Missing observations are not zero and are not interpolated or carried forward. Source revisions appear after a rebuild.
The Country selector changes desks. Chart and Table show the same selected series; range and zoom controls change the view without recalculating observations. Source names and licences identify the producers. The figures are historical information, not forecasts or recommendations.
This desk is accessible by its address but is not listed in the Country selector and is marked noindex.
