    Visualizing the $105 Trillion World Economy in One Chart
    By the end of 2023, the world economy is expected to have a gross
    domestic product (GDP) of $105 trillion, or $5 trillion higher than the
    year before, according to the latest International Monetary Fund (IMF) projections from its 2023 World Economic Outlook report.

    In nominal terms, that’s a 5.3% increase in global GDP. In
    inflation-adjusted terms, that would be a 2.8% increase.

    ℹ️ Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures the total value of economic output—goods and services—produced within a given time frame by both the private and public sectors. All numbers used in this article, unless
    otherwise specified, are nominal figures, and do not account for inflation.
    The year started with turmoil for the global economy, with financial
    markets rocked by the collapse of several mid-sized U.S. banks alongside persistent inflation and tightening monetary conditions in most
    countries. Nevertheless, some economies have proven to be resilient, and
    are expected to register growth from 2022.

    Ranking Countries by Economic Size in 2023
    The U.S. is expected to continue being the biggest economy in 2023 with
    a projected GDP of $26.9 trillion for the year. This is more than the
    sum of the GDPs of 174 countries ranked from Indonesia (17th) to Tuvalu (191st).

    China stays steady at second place with a projected $19.4 trillion GDP
    in 2023. Most of the top-five economies remain in the same positions
    from 2022, with one notable exception.

    India is expected to climb past the UK to become the fifth-largest
    economy with a projected 2023 GDP of $3.7 trillion.

    Here’s a look at the size of every country’s economy in 2023, according
    to IMF’s estimates.

    Ranked: 2023’s Shrinking Economies
    In fact, 29 economies are projected to shrink from their 2022 sizes,
    leading to nearly $500 billion in lost output.

    A bar chart showing the amount of nominal GDP shrinkage for several
    countries.

    Russia will see the biggest decline, with a projected $150 billion
    contraction this year. This is equal to about one-third of total decline
    of all 29 countries with shrinking economies.

    Egypt (-$88 billion) and Canada (-$50 billion) combined make up another one-third of lost output.

    In Egypt’s case, the drop can be partly explained by the country’s
    currency (Egyptian pound), which has dropped in value against the U.S.
    dollar by about 50% since mid-2022.

    Russia and Canada are some of the world’s largest oil producers and the
    oil price has fallen since 2022. A further complication for Russia is
    that the country has been forced to sell oil at a steep discount because
    of Western sanctions.

    Here are the projected changes in GDP for all countries facing
    year-over-year declines:

    Country Region 2022–23 Change (USD) 2022–23 Change (%)
    🇷🇺 Russia Europe -$152.65B -6.9%
    🇪🇬 Egypt Africa -$88.12B -18.5%
    🇨🇦 Canada North America -$50.17B -2.3%

    The presence of Saudi Arabia, Norway, Kuwait, and Oman in the top 10
    biggest GDP contractions further highlights the potential impact on GDP
    for oil-producing countries, according to the IMF’s projections.

    More recently, producers have been cutting supply in an effort to boost
    prices, but concerns of slowing global oil demand in the wake of a
    subdued Chinese economy (the world’s second-largest oil consumer), have
    kept oil prices lower than in 2022 regardless.

    The Footnote on GDP Forecasts
    While organizations like the IMF have gotten fairly good at GDP
    forecasting, it’s still worth remembering that these are projections and assumptions made at the beginning of the year that may not hold true by
    the end of 2023.

    For example, JP Morgan has already changed their forecast for China’s
    2023 real GDP growth six times in as many months after expectations of broad-based pandemic-recovery spending did not materialize in the country.

    The key takeaway from IMF’s projections for 2023 GDP growth rests on how
    well countries restrict inflation without stifling growth, all amidst
    tense liquidity conditions.

    I thought this went out over a week ago, but guess that
    sending failed. Try again.

    I tend to remember that:
    Presidents of Russia (1991–present)
    Boris Yeltsin (July 10, 1991 — December 31, 1999)
    gave it a pretty good shot.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Yeltsin
    1 February 1931 – 23 April 2007) was a Soviet and Russian politician
    who served as President of Russia from 1991 to 1999. He was a member of
    the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1961 to 1990. He later
    stood as a political independent, during which time he was viewed as
    being ideologically aligned with liberalism.
    Yeltsin was initially a supporter of the perestroika reforms of Soviet
    leader Mikhail Gorbachev. He later criticized the reforms as being too moderate, and called for a transition to a multi-party representative democracy. In 1987 he was the first person to resign from the Politburo
    of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which established his
    popularity as an anti-establishment figure. In 1990, he was elected
    chair of the Russian Supreme Soviet and in 1991 was elected president of
    the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR), becoming the
    first popularly-elected head of state in Russian history. Yeltsin allied
    with various non-Russian nationalist leaders, and was instrumental in
    the formal dissolution of the Soviet Union in December of that year.
    With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the RSFSR became the Russian Federation, an independent state. Through that transition, Yeltsin
    remained in office as president. He was later reelected in the 1996
    election, which was claimed by critics to be pervasively corrupt.

    He transformed Russia's command economy into a capitalist market economy
    by implementing economic shock therapy, market exchange rate of the
    ruble, nationwide privatization, and lifting of price controls. Economic downturn, volatility and inflation ensued.

    On 16 September 1989, Yeltsin toured a medium-sized grocery store
    (Randalls) in Texas.[94] Leon Aron, quoting a Yeltsin associate, wrote
    in his 2000 biography, Yeltsin, A Revolutionary Life (St. Martin's
    Press): "For a long time, on the plane to Miami, he sat motionless, his
    head in his hands. 'What have they done to our poor people?' he said
    after a long silence."
