How it is measured

GDP is the market value of all final goods and services an economy produces in a year. The figures come from the World Bank's World Development Indicators (indicator NY.GDP.MKTP.CD), which compiles each country's national accounts under the UN System of National Accounts and converts local-currency values to US dollars at official market exchange rates, averaged over the year, with no inflation adjustment. Because the series is nominal, it moves with real output, domestic inflation, and the exchange rate together.

What the curve shows

The series moves broadly upward across the 55 years covered. Its low point is the 1970 starting value of $37.2 million, and its high point is the most recent reading of $981.3 million in 2025. The latest value is therefore both the peak of the series and about 26.4 times the 1970 level, following an 18.9 percent gain over the $825.0 million recorded in 2024.
