World GDP by country. Gross world product. The most developed states


How to determine the country among the huge number of countries in the country with a strong economy? To identify highly developed states, pay attention to the ratings - the results of comparative studies made by international experts and organizations for ranking countries in various indicators. Every year, studies are published, demonstrating which country rose to the top, which dropped. Consider the main indicators for which they determine which countries in 2019 have become the most influential in the economic field, have the highest standard of living, prosperity and freedom.

Level of economic development

By level economic Development Evaluate the effectiveness and maturity of the country's economy. No wonder only countries with a high level of economic development are included in the group developed, and the rest are called developing. This level is determined by various ratings.

GDP Rating

The key indicator is the level of internal gross product (GDP). So called the overall value of goods, services and other results of enterprises, firms, companies, institutions, organizations, individuals. This is the result of all residents of the country under consideration during the year. It is calculated in two ways. The first is when all revenues received for the year are folded: interest, profit, salary, and so on. The second - when expected expenses (state procurement, investment, consumption, export with deduction). The official source of such information is the World Bank database. Statistics are updated every year and published in the fall. The accounting of the indicator is also conducted by the International Monetary Fund and the UN.

The backbone of global GDP produces only a few countries, mainly large in the territory and population.

If all goods and services produced in monetary equivalent (GDP) is an absolute value, which compares the gross domestic product with the population, we obtain the relative indicator indicating the well-being of citizens.

According to the World Bank and the IMF, the best indicators of the GDP level in the United States of America. At the rate of countries, the first places in this indicator are occupied by:

The table presented with indicators is the actual value that does not take into account the difference in prices for homogeneous goods and services. As a result of this omission - GDP developed countries Often overestimated, while developing countries Lower indicators are indicated.

Since the purchasing power parity is more important because it gives an idea of \u200b\u200bthe quality of life in the countries of the world, more confidence is another rating based on PPS.

According to the International Bank, the PPP GDP level for the countries of the world is:

The International Bank estimates all the world's economies with the exception of Syria (due to active hostilities), Somalia (since the state actually broke up into several separate parts) and Venezuela (the internal policy is extremely closed, it is impossible to appreciate the level of GDP on PPP).

Economic freedom

The most important indicator of the country's development is the level (or index) economic freedom. Since 1995, it is determined by the American Research Center "Heritage Foundation" and publishes annually on its website and in the publishing house "Wall Street Gornal".

Economic freedom Experts of the Heritage Foundation Center, based on the theories of Adam Smith, are determined as the level of non-interference of the state in the process of production, distribution and consumption, with the exception of situations where it is necessary to protect citizens.

The index is calculated on the average arithmetic ten criteria of freedom - property, the lack of corruption, the share of government in the regulation of the economy, freedom of trade, investment, labor, entrepreneurship, monetary, fiscal, financial. For each of them, an estimated scale is developed from 0 to 100 points, which are eventually summarized. The higher the number of points, the higher the level of economic freedom.

Thus, countries with free economies (from 80 points and higher) in 2019 are Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland and Switzerland.

As for the countries of the former USSR, in most cases the level of economic freedom in them is weak. For most states, the active influence of the state on all areas of life is characteristic, which often creates some inconvenience, prevents the free development of the economy.

As an example, we give data of 2 studies conducted in 2016 and 2019 for comparison:

Prosperity rating

Economic achievements of countries of the world are measured in terms of prosperity. This indicator offers the English Analytical Center "Legatum Institute". He calculates it since 2006. This index is determined by the level of public well-being of countries in the development of the economy, entrepreneurship, management, health, safety, education, personal freedoms and social capital. Each of the eight criteria is calculated on the basis of UN statistical studies, the World Bank, the sociological data of the Galllapa Institute and other authoritative centers. According to the results of comparative studies, the rating of states is published annually. In 2019, such results were published by 142 countries in the world.

Corruption perception index

Since 1996. the most important indicator The state of the country's economy recognize the rating of the level of corruption. The official name is the index of perception of corruption. He was introduced by the International Non-Governmental Organization "Transparency International". It takes into account how common corruption in the public sector is. This rating is calculated by analyzing polls and statistical data. Under corruption, within the framework of the study, any extraction of personal gain by the abuse of official position is understood.

Interesting: The study is based on the statistics of criminal cases or sentences, but on the opinion of those who suffer from corruption or study this phenomenon.

To determine this index, we developed a scale from "zero" to "hundred", where 0 means the maximum level of corruption, and 100 is its absence. Although the technique with which the rating is determined is the object of criticism, as a whole, it is recognized as experts relatively reliable.

Credit ratings

The economic "health" of the country is also estimated on financial or credit ratings. They are calculated taking into account financial Story States, the size of its property and the possibility, and the desire to pay debts. Such an index is needed in order to make it clear to potential lenders or investors how safe to deal with the country. Evaluation financial ratings give international Agencies. Moody's, Standard and Poor's and Fitch have the most serious reputation. They work all over the world and help to distinguish reliable partners from unreliable. Each of them has its own system of names, but in general the country with a high degree of obligatory is denoted by the letter A, the average and lower - the risky - in, with high risk and close to the default - S.

Index with "Human Face"

The last few years have demonstrated the importance of such an economic development indicator as social progress. Previous indicators answered economic theoriesBut it was not seen from them how the growth of the economy was reflected in the lives of people. Therefore, in 2013 as an alternative economic indicators A social progress index was developed. Its author is Professor Harvard University Michael Porter. This rating is calculated on the basis of analyzing these sociological surveys, expert opinions and statistical information of international organizations. Determining the achievements of each country in this area, the researchers took into account more than fifty factors.

  1. This is the satisfaction of the basic needs - meals, ensuring water and medical help, housing, degree.
  2. Then the fundamental foundations of well-being are taken into account - access to education and information, literacy and communication levels.
  3. And finally, the possibilities of development are analyzed - the level of protection of civil and political rights and self-realization is determined.

From the results of the studies that we analyzed, it is clear that there is a direct connection between economic freedom, financial reliability, level of living and social progress. Countries such as New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Norway, the Netherlands are leading among those who provide their citizens worthy and at the same time comply with civil and political rights, and also honestly pays bills. Little Asian Tigers: Singapore or Hong Kong, like oil "millionaires" (UAE, Qatar) "ahead of the rest of the whole" in terms of economic freedom and per capita income. But countries with a strong and efficient economy - USA, China, Japan, United Kingdom, Germany - are distributed in the ranking at different positions, because It is not always possible to provide people living there a high level of income and opportunities for development.

This post is the collected information about the most powerful economies of the world - the consequence of a small Facebook discussion. We needed accurate comparative data on the development of economies in countries for a number of positions. The most characteristic position, in my opinion, is a per capita GDP. More precisely GDP (gross domestic product) per capita in purchasing power parity (PPP). It is this indicator that is the most accurate characteristic that determines the level of economic development, as well as the growth of the economy.

Recent data collected in Wikipedia laid out in the form of tables, « when analyzing which it should be noted that countries use different so-called national accounts. So the United States, Canada, Ukraine and 28 EU countries submitted their data for 2014 in accordance with the new SNA-2008, other countries, as well as Russia, still on SNA-1993 and that is not fully: excluding conditional residential rent and evaluation natural resources. The main difference between the SNA 2008 is that in its additionally taken into account intellectual property, derivatives financial instruments, Expenses for R & D and Armament. Thus, adding new articles of accounting leads to a significant increase in macroeconomic indicators (including PPP GDP per capita), especially for countries with highly developed technologies. This can serve as a justification for additional cash emissions. "

Despite some differences in the tables, it can be noted that in most analyzes these analyzes are practically similar, and the best indicators are not at all such giants for the production of products and the development of technologies, as the United States, Japan, Germany, China, etc. for this indicator Ahead of the planet of all Qatar, Luxembourg, Macau, Norway, Singapore, Switzerland, etc.

This material is assembled according to another criterion: just on the total annual volume of the nominal gross domestic product. Who he has more, who most of all produced various products, for the country and above the position in the ranking. That's so simple.

By providing data on the economies of the countries of the world below, as a very visual idea of \u200b\u200btheir power, I bring a simple example in the form of a picture: countries with economics lessthan just one of the US states - California.

The rating of the strongest countries of the world is compiled by the criterion for the volume of nominal GDP, it also takes into account the ever-growing effect of the East on the planet's economy. Russia in the top ten the best states He strengthened at the ninth position.

Its components are the largest in the world. banking system and stock Exchange, transnational corporations, highly productive agriculture and leadership in the innovation and high-tech industry, in particular computer and telecommunication (Apple, Microsoft).

In 1732, the United Kingdom decided to close hat factors throughout America - and ordered the colonists to buy expensive hats produced in English manuff. They say that dictate has become one of the reasons for the American revolution and the subsequent economic boom in the country.

It is also necessary to remember the founder of Google Sergey Brin and Engineer of the Concern Daimler Boris Lutsk.

Thanks to the economic reforms of the 1990s, most industrial assets were privatized in Russia, with the exception of energy and defense enterprises. The main problem of the country is a strong dependence on energy resources, in particular oil and gas. The stock market is also on the path of its formation and is assessed by many as speculative. By the way, since 2011 in Moscow - the highest concentration of billionaires in the world.

According to the calculations of the consulting giant PricewaterhouseCoopers, by 2014 Russia will overtake Germany in terms of GDP and will enter the top five countries.

Negotiations on Russia's accession to the WTO began in 1995, the acceding itself will occur in September 2012

The big influx of foreign investment and the new stage in the development of the economy, in the opinion of experts, must follow in the near future - they are associated with global sport events: Olympiad in Sochi in 2014 and the World Cup in 2018.

Several facts

GDP US $ 1,430 $ 020

Capital New Delhi.

Population 1 210 193 422 people.

The year of foundation 1950 (complete independence from the UK)

Territory 3 287 590 km2

Economy of India covers all industries: from agricultural production to industry. 67% of the working-age population are directly dependent on agriculture, which is a third of GDP. India is the largest exporter of tea and has the largest livestock population in the world. At the same time, the defense, atomic and space industry is highly developed.

In the XVII century, India was the richest country in the world - before the arrival of the colonializers from the UK. Dutch, Danes, French, Portuguese and other nations fought for receiving trade privileges here. The country is the birthplace of algebra, trigonometry and chess. Now India is a bright and diverse state, its economy is increasingly integrated with the world.

Economic reforms conducted in the country since 1990 have far-reaching consequences. General Electric Capital considers this country unique, PepsiCo finds her the fastest growing, and Motorola is confident that India becomes one of the leading powers of the planet. Currently, the state dynamically goes back to the position of the world leader in the IT sector.

One of the main advantages of India is a high qualification and a relatively low cost of labor, which is actively used by transnational corporations. Now, according to the size of GDP for the purchasing power parity, India has reached the 4th place in the world, and in 2050 its volume will catch up with American.

In world practice, such concepts are used as indicators of the development of the global economy as:

v gross world product;

v gross domestic product

v gross national product

v National income.

Gross World Product - the main indicator of the dynamics of the global economy, expressing the total amount of finite goods and services , produced in the territory of all countries of the world , regardless of the national affiliation of enterprises operating there at a certain period of time.

Gross Internal Product (GDP)It expresses the cost of finite goods and services produced by residents of a given country for a certain period of time, in the prices of the final buyer.

Gross National Product (GNP) - expresses the value of the entire volume of products and services in the national economy-dependent location of national enterprises (in their country or abroad).

The difference between GDP and GNP is that GDP is calculated According to the territorial principle, i.e. takes into account the cumulative value of the products of the industry of material production and services, regardless of the national affiliation of enterprises located on the territory of this country, and GNP is calculated on the national basis, i.e. Consides the aggregate value produced by national enterprises.

To assess the rate of economic growth of the country (quality economic processes) The change in GDP in the current year is determined compared with the previous year, expressed as a percentage, while 100% adopt GDP indicator at the beginning of the period.

National Income (ND)- expressing the amount of primary income (wage, profit, property revenues, taxes on production and import) obtained by residents of this country . Unlike GDP national income Does not include income received from abroad or transmitted abroad.

The formation of the global market and production marked an important stage in the development of modern civilization, primarily because its material basis is technical progress and stimulated by it public separation Labor.

As changing GDP Mira From 1970 to 2016 at nominal and permanent prices with respect to 1970. This is a lot of other interesting information you can read in this article. Where there is no data for 2016, the data is indicated for 2013 and this is mentioned.

For the period 1970-2016 World GDP grew from 3398.7 to 75212.7 and increased by $ 71817 billion or 22.13 times; The change occurred due to an increase in the population of the world from 3692 to 7456 million people, i.e. The population grew by 3764 million people. or 2.02 times relative to 1970. He also grew by increasing the GDP indicator per capita in the world, which in 1970 was $ 921, and already in 2016 amounted to $ 10167. The average annual increase in the GDP of the world during this period amounted to 1561.2 billion dollars.

During 1970-2016 GDP per capita in the world increased by 9246 dollars or at 11.04 times to $ 10167. The average annual increase in GDP per capita in the world during this period amounted to 201 dollars a year.

At constant prices by 1970, the picture looks like this. Here it should be said that such constant prices.

Permanent prices: The usual set of prices used to assess the volume of production of the company or the economy as a whole into sequential periods. The change in the real amount of activity in the enterprise or in the economy is measured by estimating the value of annual real costs and production at constant prices. The role of constants are the prices of any specific date or average for the price period. Select the corresponding set of permanent prices is quite difficult, since the type and quality of goods are continuously changing. It is impossible to find out the price of goods in 1980, if this product was available only in 1990, or, on the contrary, the price of the goods in 1990, if its sale was discontinued in 1980. The longer period of the period in question, the greater the share of the cumulative Production volume, when estimating the value of which it is necessary to deal with the difficulties of this kind, and the less reliable comparisons of income or production volume at constant prices.

So the permanent GDP regarding the prices of 1970 has grown from 3398.7 billion dollars. $ to 13487.4 billion dollars $ in 2016. The growth amounted to 10088.7 billion dollars. $ or he rose 3.97 times.

GDP per capita in the world in permanent prices relative to 1970 increased from $ 921 to $ 1823 in 2016. The growth was $ 902 or it rose 1.98 times. It means that purchasing power One resident of the planet for 46 years has grown almost twice.
