World economy: GDP, inflation, debt and rates for 208 countries

Every economy on earth in one sortable view — GDP and growth, inflation, policy rates, government debt, unemployment and trade — built from the World Bank's public indicators, with a dedicated page per country charting 30+ years of history and world rankings for each metric.

US inflation doesn't happen in a vacuum: energy shocks, supply chains and the dollar transmit price pressure across borders. The country pages make the comparisons concrete — how US inflation, debt and growth stack against every peer, with each country one click deep.

What this page measures

One sortable table for 208 economies — GDP, real GDP growth, GDP per capita, inflation, unemployment, government debt to GDP, current-account balance, population, central-bank policy rate, 10-year government bond yield — built from the World Bank's World Development Indicators (annual, 1995 onward), the IMF World Economic Outlook for government debt, and BIS central-bank policy rates (monthly), with a page per country charting the full history and a world ranking for each metric. World GDP was $118.35T in 2025, growing 2.9%, with world inflation of 3.0% and population of 8.22 billion.

The United States in the table

GDP $30.77T (2025), growth 2.2%, GDP per capita $90,027, inflation 2.9% (2024, the World Bank's annual average), unemployment 4.2%, government debt 124.4% of GDP (2025, IMF), current account -3.8% of GDP, policy rate 3.88% (September 2026, BIS monthly), 10-year yield 4.99% (September 2026, OECD monthly). Daily readings move first: the effective fed funds rate was 3.88% on October 15, 2026 (New York Fed via FRED) and the 10-year Treasury yield 5.10% on October 15, 2026 (US Treasury via FRED). The annual World Bank inflation figure is a calendar-year average and lags; the daily Gauge (3.45%) and the monthly CPI (3.7%) are the current US readings.

How to read it

Inflation here is the World Bank's annual consumer-price average, so a country's figure can be a year or more old (the year is shown); missing data sinks to the bottom of every sort rather than being filled. Growth is real GDP; GDP per capita is in current dollars, not purchasing-power parity (a separate ranking exists for PPP). Debt is general-government gross debt from the IMF. Policy rates are the central bank's main rate from the BIS. Comparisons across countries are meaningful for direction and order of magnitude; definitions differ at the edges. US inflation does not happen in a vacuum — energy shocks, supply chains and the dollar transmit price pressure across borders — and the country pages make the comparison concrete: how US inflation, debt and growth stack against every peer, one click deep.
