Nominal GDP: Rank 3 among 188 covered IMF economies for reference year 2026. This is a ranking of covered positive readings with the same reference-year label.
Each figure retains its own reference year, unit and source. Missing values are not zero. IMF readings can include estimates or projections; their stored release vintage, observation status and country-specific fiscal-year mapping are unavailable. A shared year label does not establish identical calendar periods.
Population follows the World Bank’s midyear-estimate definition. Nominal GDP is converted from stored billions of US dollars to US dollars. GDP per person is output per person, not a typical income; general-government gross debt is broader than central-government debt.
The stored nominal GDP reading is $5.45T (reference year 2026) and real GDP growth is 0.8% (reference year 2026). The cards retain each measure’s own period and source. Dated releases below provide additional context; their forecasts, estimates and plans remain distinct from observed outcomes.
authorization
Germany’s Special Fund for Infrastructure and Climate Neutrality has a financing envelope of up to €500 billion, enabled by a constitutional amendment in March 2025. It finances additional infrastructure and climate-neutrality investment. The authorized amount is not a measure of money already spent.
forecast
The German government’s spring projection, released April 22, 2026, forecast real GDP growth of 0.5% for 2026. That projection is a dated government forecast. It is separate from the stored IMF reading above and does not establish the year’s eventual outcome.
announced plan
Volkswagen’s December 20, 2024 agreement set out a planned reduction of more than 35,000 positions across its German locations by 2030, alongside a job-security arrangement through that year. The announcement describes a future workforce plan, not a count of completed layoffs.
announced plan
Thyssenkrupp Steel’s November 25, 2024 concept proposed around 5,000 job reductions by 2030 and a further 6,000 positions affected by transfer to external providers or the sale of business activities. These categories should remain separate; the announcement does not establish 11,000 completed layoffs.
