World Bank statistics of the ten largest economies by GDP (PPP)
[edit]Angus Maddison statistics of the ten largest economies by GDP (PPP)
[edit]Main GDP countries
[edit]The United States Department of Agriculture has calculated the share of every country to global real GDP from 1969 to 2010.[10]
European Union
[edit]The EU currently[when?] produces 17% of global GDP (nominal) and 14.5% of global GDP (PPP) in 2023.
United States
[edit]The United States represented 28.69% of the world's economy in 1960 (highest point). It accounted for 1.8% of the world's economy in 1820, 8.9% in 1870, and 18.9% in 1913. The United States produced 25.3% (nominal) and 15.5% of global GDP (PPP) in 2022.[11]
China
[edit]China represented 1.61% of the world's economy in 1987 (lowest point), rising to 18.4% (nominal) and 19% (PPP) in 2022. It accounted for 25.4% of global GDP in 1 CE, 29% of world global output in 1600 CE, 17.3% of the world's economy in 1870, and 33% in 1820 (its highest point). China's share of global GDP varied from a quarter to a third of global output between the year 1 until the late 19th century.[11]
India
[edit]In the year 1CE India accounted for 32% of the world's GDP (its highest point). The gross domestic product of India in 1500 was estimated at 24.4% of the world's economy, 22.4% in 1600, 16% in 1820, and 12.1% in 1870. India's share of global GDP declined to less than 2% of global GDP by the time of its independence and would only gradually rise after the liberalization of its economy beginning in the 1990s. The Republic of India currently contributes 3.6% of world GDP (nominal) and 7.5% of global GDP (PPP) in 2023
