2021 IMF Nominal GDP of Pakistan, source?

The "IMF, World Economic Outlook Database, October 2021" does not give a Nominal GDP figure for Pakistan in 2021, at least in terms of the relatively stable American dollar. The Nominal GDP figure is however given in American dollars for 2020, and it is much lower than 347 billion, at 261 billon and 726 million dollars. Where is the source for the 347 billion dollar figure currently quoted for Pakistan in that IMF dataset, and if there really is a source why isn't it highlighted in the table somewhere relevant so that it can be then checked up on for its reliability?

What do you mean by that?

I said Pakistan gdp was reported to be 375 billion in economic survey released in June 2024 with a per capita of 1,680$ too lazy to do research? 43.247.122.146 (talk) 19:51, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should we put European Union in the list?

I know it's not a country, but it could help visualize its economy size, seeing its role in the world economy ShishRobot2000 (talk) 22:32, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

this gets brought up now and again the consensus is to not include it because it's not a country 0123Qwerty3210 (talk) 13:59, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IIRC we've included it before (or in similar articles in this set?) because it's in all of the datasets, but we didn't include it in sorting. I'd support its inclusion generally, since it follows the sources we use, and it's an established political-economic polity (unlike say a grouping by continent or a strategic alliance, or the Eurozone alone). SamuelRiv (talk) 15:40, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not in the same dataset though it's a separate download from the IMF website so not included with the countries. We would effectively be makeing the decision to add it to the dataset. 0123Qwerty3210 (talk) 17:30, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2025 update

In the the October world economic outlook the IMF update their data to 2025 , I think we should also update to 2025 GDP data , as soon as the world economic outlook published 北京555 (talk) 23:43, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK so since October has started when will we get the new data Now?

Data are already published. Tables on Wikipedia are old. 79.23.185.173 (talk) 08:42, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Colombia is 417 while Hong Kong is 401 and Denmark is 412 so shouldn't Colombia be higher 43.247.122.93 (talk) 06:26, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't Brazil be higher?

Brazil's GDP was around 2.331T last time I checked,read a few things and all of them said Brazil grew,but it was changed to lower,why?shouldn't it be higher? 2804:14D:5C21:A076:3941:384D:FF0D:D237 (talk) 00:40, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a measure of NOMINAL GDP in DOLLARS, so the exchange rate between currencies can DRAMATICALLY affect the figures. For example, consider a hypothetical GDP of a country that uses the real as its currency:

In the April 2024 IMF revision, GDP was reported at $2 trillion with an exchange rate of 4 reals to 1 dollar. However, in the October 2024 revision, the currency exchange rate changed to 8 reals to the dollar, making NOMINAL GDP roughly $1 trillion in dollar terms.

Currency exchange rates are not the only factors affecting NOMINAL GDP: inflation and real GDP growth also play a role. In the case of Brazil, the real GDP growth and inflation are similar to those in the US. This indicates that the main cause of the decline in nominal GDP(when measured in dollars) is the devaluation of the real. You can see this trend by checking recent exchange rates; In April, it was around 5.15 reais per dollar, while now it is about 5.70 reais per dollar.

Yeah I see that,just curious because in July the GDP got higher but the dollar was 5.73 reais,which is higher than the current price,but now it makes a little more sense,thanks. 2804:14D:5C21:A076:8B:F2FF:FEBE:7D19 (talk) 01:54, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
