GDP growth (annual %)Higher is better — rank 1 leadsPublished by World Bank Group
65 reference years (1961–2025), covering 107 to 211 countries — the longest and widest series on the site — pulled from the World Bank’s indicator API (NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG). The annual percentage change in real GDP, measured at constant local prices so inflation is out of it. ⚠ A RATE, NOT A LEVEL, and this is the thing to hold on to when reading the table: the top of any year’s list is usually a small economy rebounding from a bad year or opening an oil field, not a rich country. Equatorial Guinea’s 150% in 1997 and Iraq’s −64% in 1991 are both real, and both say more about the year before than about the country. ⚠ A statistic, not an index, and left out of the Country Index: one year of growth is not a verdict on a country. ⚠ These are not 65 published reports — see `restatedByReport`. No rank is published, so none is stored; the POSITION shown on the statistics page is derived here by ordering the score, and labelled as ours.

Annual percentage change in real GDP as published by the World Bank via its indicator API (NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG), at constant local prices. ⚠ Growth is a rate of change, not a level: a fast-growing country is not a rich one, and a single year of it says more about the year before than about the country. No rank is published, so none is stored or derived.
