Countries with the largest GDP in the world. The largest economies of the world: rating. For what indicators it is better to estimate the country's economy to understand where people live better

GDP growth in crisis, state of the economy, an increase in the size of the average wage - factors that allowed some countries to preserve leadership positions on the quality of the life of the population. What states in 2016 have become more comfortable for life, which left top-10 and what are the dreams of dreams? About this - in our article!

A good country is a healthy country. According to the data of the All-term Health Organization (WHO), the UN and World Bank, the top 10 of states with the most healthy population looks like this:

1. Iceland. Its championship is due to the maximum number of health workers (more than 3.6 per 1 thousand people), a minimum number of people with a diagnosis of tuberculosis (only 2 per 1 thousand people) and the highest life expectancy in the world (more than 72 years for men and 74 - for women).
2. Singapore. The minimum number of people suffering from obesity (1.8%) and high lifespan (on average - 82 years) allowed this city-state to occupy a high ranking.
3. Sweden. A small number of patients with tuberculosis (only 3 per 1 thousand people) and a minimal mortality of babies allowed her to take the honorable 2nd place.
4. Germany. More than 11% of state GDP goes to health care (annually for the treatment of citizens, Germany spends more than 3,500 euros).
5. Switzerland. The high rate of rating is due to the large number of doctors (3.6 per 1 thousand people)
6. Andorra. Health expenses in Andorra make up more than 8% of GDP, and the average life expectancy of the population exceeds 82 years.
7. Great Britain. This country is the only West state to which 95% of medical institutions operate in its territory. More than 9.8% of GDP is spent on health care.
8. Finland. About 300 people are ill in this country with tuberculosis / year, at the same time 30 thousand people are diagnosed with cancer (more than 75% of patients are fully cured).
9. Netherlands. The country has a low incidence of tuberculosis (5.4 people per 1 thousand inhabitants) and sufficient lifespan - more than 81 years.
10. Canada. Medicare Health System is the pride of this North American state, because each resident, it guarantees almost free medical services. Health costs are over 10% of GDP, and the life expectancy of citizens exceeds 80 years.

The worst countries for the health of citizens are the states of Africa: Swaziland, Somalia, South Sudan, Chad, Central African Republic, Mali, etc. The rating is based on these researchers from the University of Seattle and the Bloomberg news agency.

WHO uses a special indicator to determine the quality of health care - expected at birth life expectancy. According to the World Health Organization Rating, Russia in terms of medical service takes 110th place. And although the health care system leaves much to be desired, the Russian Federation is ahead of other CIS countries, such as Kazakhstan (111 place), Tajikistan (115), Armenia (116), Uzbekistan (117), Ukraine (151), losing only the Republic of Belarus (98th place) .

Top 10 countries, ideal for business

The strong economy is unthinkable without a successful business. Forbes edition in 2016 amounted to a list of countries that are as convenient for entrepreneurial activities. It is noteworthy that out of 10 participants in the rating of 6 - countries of the European Union:

1. Sweden;
2. New Zealand;
3. Hong Kong;
4. Ireland;
5. Great Britain;
6. Denmark;
7. Netherlands;
8. Finland;
9. Norway;
10. Canada.

The US publication forms a rating for 11 years, taking into account the level of bureaucracy, the amount of taxes, corruptedness, economic growth, financial and personal freedom of citizens - in total 11 factors were taken into account. For 7 of them, Sweden fell into the top ten, because its economy has increased by 4.2 percent for the results of the year with US $ 493 billion. The evaluation data was obtained from the World Bank reports, the World Economic Forum, a non-governmental international organization to combat Corruption Transparency International, etc.

In terms of the development of the economy, Russia occupied the 40th place, and the complexity of the opening of his case was at the 26th position. According to the accessibility of electricity of the Russian Federation, it became the 30th, in the availability of loans, became the 44th, in terms of taxation - the 45th, the complexity of obtaining rights to build our country became the 115th. According to the World Bank, the ideal country for business (excluding additional criteria, whether it is an increase in economics) - New Zealand, because in it "pay taxes as easy as writing a check."

The most prosperous countries of the world

Well, where we do not? British Non-Profit Organization The Legatum Institute has published a global rating study of the most prosperous states of the world. The most "blooming" countries are determined based on economic and social indicators, business opportunities, education and health, social capital and personal freedoms of citizens. Experts estimated 149 countries, putting evaluating them in the range of 0 - 10 to 89 criteria.

According to the results of the analysis conducted in 2016, the following rating was drawn up:

1. New Zealand (prosperity index - 79.28);
2. Norway (78,66);
3. Finland (78,56);
4. Switzerland (78.10);
5. Canada (77.67);
6. Australia (77.48);
7. Netherlands (77.44);
8. Sweden (77.43);
9. Denmark (77.37);
10. United Kingdom (77.18).

The purpose of the study is to study the public well-being of world states on a global scale. The prosperity index is a combined indicator that determines the achievements of states from the point of view of well-being. In this list, Russia takes 95 position (prosperity index - 54.73). The nearest "neighbors" by rating - Nepal and Moldova (94th and 96th places, respectively). Among the CIS countries, Russia has the best indicators: the 25th place in the quality of education, 56 - on environmental safety, 69 - in entrepreneurship.

Russia's achievements are obvious - every year it moves to the top line of the rating. At the same time, the results should be considered through the prism of political sentiment: in the report of the Legatum Institute, the liberal cliché "Putinskaya Russia", "Soviet heritage", "Communist Past", etc. have been repeatedly used, etc. When drawing up a rating, the British organization uses the previous year's surveys, which does not allow 100% objectively to display validity.

Rating of the countries of the world in terms of living

The United Nations (UN) publishes a report on the quality of life of the population in various countries of the world since 1990. The rating is based on the human development index, or Humanity Development Index (HDI). This index allows you to measure the achievements of states in the field of health, income of the population, education, social services, etc.

The last time the report was published in 2015, and the best countries for living were distributed in the UN ranking as follows:

1. Norway (0.94);
2. Australia (0.935);
3. Switzerland (0.93);
4. Denmark (0.923);
5. Netherlands (0.922);
6. Germany (0.916);
7. Ireland (0.916);
8. United States of America (0.916);
9. Canada (0.913);
10. New Zealand (0.913).

Russia refers to the number of countries with a high index of human development (0.798) on a par with Belarus. Our country is somewhat ahead of Oman, Romania, Uruguay, slightly inferior to Montenegro. Countries with the worst HDI index are located in Africa: it is Niger, Tsar, Eritrea, Chad, Burundi, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Mozambique and Mali.

1. Denmark (201,53);
2. Switzerland (196.44);
3. Australia (196.40);
4. New Zealand (196.09);
5. Germany (189.87);
6. Austria (187);
7. Netherlands (186.46);
8. Spain (184.96);
9. Finland (183.98);
10. United States (181.91).

The calculation of the index was carried out without the use of government data and official reports, so it can be considered subjective and depoliticized. For calculations, a formula is used, taking into account factors such as the purchasing power of the population, the ratio of the cost of real estate and income of citizens, the safety and cost of living, the quality of health, climate and even the situation on the roads (the less traffic, the better).

Russia in this list takes the 55th place with the quality of life index of 86.53. She is somewhat ahead of Ukraine and slightly inferior to Egypt and Singapore. Not bad results Russia showed in real estate: housing availability index - 13.3 (this is only a little more than Austria, France, Estonia, South Korea). The consumer's capacity index of Russians is twice as much as citizens of the leading countries of the list - only 52.6. But the index of the cost of life in Russia is one of the lowest (35.62). For comparison: in Switzerland, it is 125.67, in Norway - 104.26.

The table of indexes that determine the position of the listed countries looks like this:

Country	Civil ability index of citizens	Healthy hollow	Value for the cost of housing and income of the population
Denmark	135.24	78.21	6.33
Switzerland	153.90	69.93	9.27
Australia	137.26	74.14	7.54
New Zealand	108.61	72.17	6.80
Germany	136.14	76.02	7.23
Austria	103.54	78.80	10.37
Netherlands	120.12	69.19	6.47
Spain	94.80	76.55	8.70
Finland	123.42	74.80	7.99
Connected States	130.17	68.18	3.39

Along with a high standard of living, the relative availability of housing, the high customer ability of citizens leading countries in terms of living levels are also the most expensive for living. The rating of the most expensive countries looks like this:

1. Switzerland - 126.03;
2. Norway - 118,59;
3. Venezuela - 111,51;
4. Iceland - 102.14;
5. Denmark - 100.06;
6. Australia - 99.32;
7. New Zealand - 93.71;
8. Singapore - 93.61;
9. Kuwait - 92.97;
10. United Kingdom - 92,19.

Top 10 is based on the data of the research company MoveHub (United Kingdom). The Consumer Price Index, or CPI) takes into account the cost of food, utilities, transport, gasoline and entertainment. An interesting fact: the index reflects the ratio of the cost of life in New York (if it is 80, then living in the country is cheaper than in a large apple by 20%).

The most accessible for life includes mainly Asian countries and Africa: India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Egypt, Algeria. States of Europe and North America are still attractive, but rather expensive to stay. The attractiveness is due to the excellent quality of medical and educational services. The best universities of the world are located on their territory: Harvard, Princeton and Yale Oxford and Cambridge Universities.

Many leaders of the listed ratings are countries with an excellent ecology. According to Forbes, Switzerland, Sweden and Norway are the top three and more favorable for living countries from the point of view of climate and ecology. There are practically no harmful production on their territory, and the endless green meadows, the mountains and the purest natural reservoirs make accommodation and rest in them as useful for health.

Note that many states are absolute leaders who distinguished themselves in all indicators. So, Norway, Iceland and Sweden can be called perfect for accommodation, work, tourism. And what countries do you think provided our citizens with optimal living conditions and the highest standard of living? Personal experience and opinions sharing in the comments!

Very waiting for your feedback, reposities and comments, thanks.

The absolute wealth of the country expresses the indicator of GDP. The absolute indicator of GDP speaks of the overall level of development of the country's economy and its share in the global gross product. The wealth of the same inhabitants is usually calculated as a common GDP / number of citizens of the country. It is clear that ratings of wealth of countries and its inhabitants crossed little with each other.

It is clear that China with a population of 1.36 billion people is much easier to reach absolute indicators, rather than relative. The relative GDP indicator is based on the relation of the GDP country to the size of its population and characterizes the wealth and standard of living of the citizen himself.

After World War II, Italy passed a long way of significant economic transformations: starting with a total lag, it achieved a developed industrial economy. The income per capita was three times less than the same period in the United States. Almost half of the country (42.2%) was occupied in agriculture. The current time, according to the IMF and the World Bank, the Italian economy is the eighth in the world and the fourth in Europe in the point of view of nominal GDP, as well as the tenth in the world and the fifth in Europe by the GDP criterion calculated on PPS.

It is also necessary to remember the founder of Google Sergey Brin and Engineer of the Concern Daimler Boris Lutsk.

Thanks to the economic reforms of the 1990s, most industrial assets were privatized in Russia, with the exception of energy and defense enterprises.

Currently, the state dynamically goes back to the position of the world leader in the IT sector.

One of the main advantages of India is a high qualification and a relatively low cost of labor, which is actively used by transnational corporations. Now, according to the size of GDP for the purchasing power parity, India has reached the 4th place in the world, and in 2050 its volume will catch up with American.

In general, the United States economy is significantly ahead of other states in the absolute volume of GDP. Compared to the past year, the increase in the internal gross product of the United States amounted to 726 billion dollars. The separation from China reached 7 trillion. dollars.

Recall gross Domestic Product (GROSS Domestic Product) - GDP (GDP) - Macroeconomic Indicator, reflecting the market value of all finite goods and services (that is, intended for direct use), produced in all sectors of the economy in the territory of the state for consumption, export and accumulation, regardless of the national affiliation of the factors of production. For the first time, this concept was proposed in 1934 by Simon Kuznets.

In the calculation of the GDP indicator, financial transactions, securities operations, sales in the secondary market (used cars, apartments, houses, clothing, etc.) are not included. Financial operations do not create a real value, and the sale of previously used items has already been taken into account earlier in the calculation of previous GDP indicators.

Gross domestic product is used to characterize production results, level of economic development and economic growth rates.

The formula for calculating GDP looks like this:

GDP \u003d W + Q + R + P + T

Where: W - wages paid by subjects of economic activities, regardless of the presence (absence) of citizenship Q - Social insurance deductions and other mandatory payments R - Gross profit of business entities P - Gross Mixed Income T - Taxes for Production and Import (from This amount is deducted state subsidies, if any).

Experts predicted WFP National Economies for 2018

Experts remind that nominal GDP is the cumulative market value of all final goods and services produced in the country for a certain year. Comparisons of the economy and income of people are produced by adjusting differences in prices between countries - by purchasing power parity (PPP).

According to forecasts, the gross world product in 2018 will be 84.38 trillion. US dollars, its PPS is predicted at the level of 133.81 trillion. Dolly analysts are called the USA and China largest economies, the state of Tuvalu is the weakest economy in the world.

The Nominal GDP of the United States, which lead in this ranking is 23.9% of world wealth, while the smallest economy in Tuvalu is only 0.00005%. By purchasing power parity, China with indicators is 18.8%, the lowest rating is all at the same Tuvalu - 0.00003%.

In nominal terms, 16 states have GDP above $ 1 trillion., 65 - above $ 100 billion and 178 - above $ 1 billion. The five largest economies of the world are approximately 53.43% of world wealth. The top ten leaders account for about 66.86%, and the top 20 world economies covers more than 80% of the global economy. At the same time, 92 the smallest economies of the world contribute only to 1% in the global wealth, and 155 least developed countries give only 10% of the total.

According to PPPs, 25 world economies have GDP above $ 1 trillion., 85 countries are more than $ 100 billion, and 182 world economies are $ 1 billion. The share of five states accounts for 48.95% of the global economy. The share of the top ten rating is more than 61%, and the contribution of the TOP 20 economies exceeds 75%. 150 of the smallest economies have only 10% of the total worldwide wealth.

There are many differences between nominal GDP and GDP (PPP). For example, Myanmar demonstrates the most significant difference in monetary terms in the PPS rating ($ 362.96 billion) compared with the nominal rating ($ 74.0 billion). The most significant difference between the places occupied by Iceland is the 101st place in the nominal rating and the 148th place in the PPS rating. And only 11 national economies in the world have the same rank in both methods.
