The world's 10 biggest economies
The economy of the United States is the largest in the world. At $18 trillion, it represents a quarter share of the global economy (24.3%).
The U.S. may not dominate for much longer, however. Although China trails the U.S. by $7 trillion, it’s catching up. China’s economy grew by 6.7% in 2016, compared with America’s 1.6%, according to the IMF. China has also overtaken India as the fastest-growing large economy. The IMF’s World Economic Outlook estimated China’s economy grew at 6.7% in 2016, compared with India’s 6.6%.
Brazil’s economy has contracted in the last year by 3.5%, the only one in the top 10 to do so.
