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

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.

Source and timing

The IMF World Economic Outlook is published in rounds, and historical estimates can be revised. An annual projection should not be read as a finalized outcome or substituted for a monthly release. Check the publisher's database notes when combining this table with another source.
