GDP Growth by Country 2026
Real GDP growth for 192 economies. Highest: Guyana (16.2%); lowest: Qatar (-8.6%). IMF data with reference years.
Real GDP growth measures the annual percentage change in inflation-adjusted economic output. It is different from the change in GDP expressed in current US dollars, which also reflects prices and exchange rates. IMF readings can include estimates and forecasts. Each row retains its reference year.
The mean and median describe this list of economies, giving each one equal weight. They are not an official world aggregate. A world or regional aggregate requires the publisher's weighting method and consistent coverage. Reference years: 2024, 2025, 2026.

Use this data in your own work
Every figure on this page is available as JSON or CSV from the same API the site runs on. Source, license and terms travel with the response, so attribution is not left to you to reconstruct.
curl "https://statisticsoftheworld.com/api/v1/rankings/IMF.NGDP_RPCH?format=csv"Interpret the rates before comparing economies
A high growth rate does not identify the largest economy or the highest income per person. Rebounds from a weak starting year can produce large percentage increases. The table describes growth rates; it does not, by itself, explain their causes.
Differences between two rates are measured in percentage points. A move from 4% to 2% is a fall of two percentage points, and a 50% reduction in the rate itself. Neither statement means the underlying level fell by 50%.
Selected economies from the same dataset
- India: 6.5% (2026).
- China: 4.4% (2026).
- United States: 2.3% (2026).
- Canada: 1.5% (2026).
- Germany: 0.8% (2026).
- Japan: 0.7% (2026).
These examples are calculated from the table, so country figures and search descriptions update with the source data. They do not attribute movements to a policy announcement, exchange-rate change or political event without separate evidence.
