- What is OECD members's GDP (constant 2015 US$)?
- US$57.86 trillion in 2025, according to the World Bank (World Development Indicators).
- How has it changed since 1960?
- It is up 546.05% from US$8.96 trillion in 1960 (2.91% a year on average, compounded). The highest value was US$57.86 trillion in 2025 and the lowest US$8.96 trillion in 1960.
- Is the latest change in GDP (constant 2015 US$) unusual for OECD members?
- In 2025, OECD members' GDP (constant 2015 US$) rose 1.8% on 2024 (from US$56.85 trillion to US$57.86 trillion). Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +2.1% and a typical year strayed about 1.9% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
- Where is OECD members's GDP (constant 2015 US$) heading?
- From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about US$996.7 billion a year. A straight line explains 92% of the movement over 10 observed years. Extending that straight line gives about US$60.5 trillion for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was US$817.34 billion, against US$1.98 trillion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
