Chart of the Day: Size of the World

Colored grid illustrating the GDP of various countries, color grouped by region.

Contents

Today’s Chart of the Day is from Visual Capitalist, looking at the $115 trillion world economy in 2025, broken down by county.
 
The US dominates at $30 trillion or 26%, followed by China’s $20 trillion or 17%, and then a close tie for Japan, India, Germany, and Great Britian at around $4 trillion each or approximately 4% for each.
 
Notably, with the strong performance of the US stock market in 2024 and although the US only accounts for 26% of the world’s economic output, our stock market accounts for 62% of the entire world’s publicly traded value. This is primarily due to the ease, safety, transparency, and strong rule of law vs. those in other smaller countries, where though the smaller countries generate products, their markets are not as easily investable as those in the US.
