List of countries by past and projected GDP (nominal)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an alphabetical list of countries by past and projected gross domestic product (nominal) as ranked by the IMF. Figures are based on official exchange rates, not on the purchasing power parity (PPP) methodology. Values are given in millions of United States dollars (USD) and have not been adjusted for inflation. These figures have been taken from the International Monetary Fund's World Economic Outlook (WEO) Database (April 2026 edition) and/or other sources.[1]

For older GDP trends, see List of regions by past GDP (PPP).
