List of Asian countries by GDP

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of Asian and Pacific countries sorted by their nominal gross domestic product (GDP) at market or government official exchange rates. Russia is considered European by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) despite having much of its territory in Asia, though Caucasian nations are considered Asian.

The data here is an estimation for the year 2006 produced by the IMF in April 2007, and estimated data produced in October 2007 for 2007. Despite rapid economic growth in much of the Asian and Pacific region, the world share only grew very little from 2005 to 2007 due to a sharp rise in European currencies. For 2006 to 2007, Asia's share of the world economy only grew from 27.43% to 27.56%, with Asia growing at North America's expense. 2007 figures are estimated (pre-preliminary) from October 2007, IMF, per List of countries by future GDP estimates (nominal)

[edit] Notes

  1. ^  The inclusion of Australia in the list is due to the fact this list indicates "Asian and Asian Pacific countries". Australia, although a continent in its own right, is considered part of the Asia-Pacific region due to its close ties with the Asian economy, which makes up more than 50% of the country's trade, and this can only increase with the emergence of Asian economies. Australia is also part of APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation).
  2. ^  2007 figures are pre-estimates only, and not even preliminary.
