{{World economy}}
The '''world economy''' or '''global economy''' is the [[economy]] of all humans in the world, referring to the global [[economic system]], which includes all economic activities conducted both within and between [[nation]]s, including [[production (economics)|production]], [[consumption (economics)|consumption]], [[management|economic management]], [[Work (human activity)|work]] in general, financial transactions and [[trade]] of [[goods and services]].<ref>{{cite web |title=THE GLOBAL ECONOMY {{!}} definition in the Cambridge English Dictionary |url=https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/global-economy |website=dictionary.cambridge.org |access-date=20 September 2020 |archive-date=4 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220504034558/https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/global-economy |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>"World Economy." – Definition. American English Definition of with Pronunciation by Macmillan Dictionary. N.p., n.d. Web. 2 January 2015.</ref> In some contexts, the two terms are distinct: the "international" or "global economy" is measured separately and distinguished from national economies, while the "world economy" is simply an aggregate of the separate countries' measurements. Beyond the minimum standard concerning value in production, use and exchange, the definitions, representations, models and valuations of the world economy vary widely. It is inseparable from the [[geography]] and [[ecology]] of planet [[Earth]].
 
It is common to limit questions of the world economy exclusively to [[Economics|human economic activity]], and the world economy is typically judged in [[Money|monetary]] terms, even in cases in which there is no efficient [[Market (economics)|market]] to help valuate certain goods or services, or in cases in which a lack of independent research, genuine data or government cooperation makes calculating figures difficult. Typical examples are [[illegal drug trade|illegal drugs]] and other [[black market]] goods, which by any standard are a part of the world economy, but for which there is, by definition, no legal market of any kind.
 
However, even in cases in which there is a clear and efficient market to establish [[monetary]] [[Value (economics)|value]], economists do not typically use the current or official [[exchange rate]] to translate the monetary units of this market into a single unit for the world economy since exchange rates typically do not closely reflect [[world]]wide value – for example, in cases where the volume or price of transactions is closely regulated by the government.

Rather, market valuations in a local currency are typically translated to a single monetary unit using the idea of [[Purchasing power parity|purchasing power]]. This is the method used below, which is used for estimating worldwide economic activity in terms of [[purchasing power parity|real]] [[United States dollar]]s or [[euro]]s. However, the world economy can be evaluated and expressed in many more ways. It is unclear, for example, how many of the world's [[world population|7.8 billion people]] ({{as of|March 2020|lc=y}})<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://yaleglobal.yale.edu/content/world-population-2020-overview |title=World Population: 2020 Overview |access-date=2020-09-20 |archive-date=2021-03-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210309052034/https://yaleglobal.yale.edu/content/world-population-2020-overview |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://interactives.prb.org/2020-wpds/ |title=2020 World Population Data Sheet |access-date=2020-09-20 |archive-date=2020-09-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200928162218/https://interactives.prb.org/2020-wpds/ |url-status=live }}</ref> have most of their economic activity reflected in these valuations.
 
According to Maddison{{Who|date=August 2022}}, until the middle of the 19th century, global output was dominated by [[China]] and [[India]] with Indian subcontinent being the world's largest economy from 1 C.E to 17 C.E. Waves of the  [[Industrial Revolution]] in Western Europe and Northern America shifted the shares to the Western Hemisphere. As of 2024, the following 20 countries or collectives have reached an economy of at least US$2 [[trillion (short scale)|trillion]] by [[GDP]] in nominal or PPP terms: '''[[Brazil]]''', '''[[Canada]]''', '''[[China]]''', '''[[Egypt]]''', '''[[France]]''', '''[[Germany]]''', '''[[India]]''', '''[[Indonesia]]''', '''[[Italy]]''', '''[[Japan]]''', '''[[Mexico]]''', '''[[South Korea]]''', '''[[Russia]]''', '''[[Saudi Arabia]]''', '''[[Spain]]''', '''[[Turkey]]''', the '''[[United Kingdom]]''', the '''[[United States]]''', the '''[[European Union]]''' and the '''[[African Union]]'''.<ref name="IMF Data">{{Cite web|title=World Economic Outlook Database April 2024|url=https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WEO/weo-database/2024/October|access-date=2024-11-09|website=www.imf.org}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://vantagepointtrading.com/news/more-qe-from-the-bank-of-england-to-support-the-uk-economy-in-2021/|title=More QE From the Bank of England to Support the UK Economy in 2021|work=Vant Age Point Trading|access-date=25 January 2021|archive-date=20 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210120013924/https://vantagepointtrading.com/news/more-qe-from-the-bank-of-england-to-support-the-uk-economy-in-2021/|url-status=live}}</ref>

* [[Gross domestic product|GDP]] (GWP) (gross world product): (purchasing power parity exchange rates) – $59.38 trillion (2005 est.), $51.48 trillion (2004), $23 trillion (2002). The GWP is the combined gross national income of all the countries in the world. When calculating the GWP, add GDP of all countries. Also, GWP shows that imports and exports are equal. Because imports and exports balance exactly when considering the whole world:,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG |title=World Bank GWP Growth Rate, 2020 |publisher=WorldBank.org |access-date=11 November 2020 |archive-date=30 August 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180830210157/https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/ny.gdp.mktp.kd.zg |url-status=live }}</ref> this also equals the total global gross domestic product (GDP). According to the World Bank, the 2013 nominal GWP was approximately US$75.59 trillion. In 2017, according to the CIA's World Factbook, the GWP was around US$80.27 trillion in nominal terms and totaled approximately 127.8 trillion international dollars in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP). The per capita PPP GWP in 2017 was approximately Int$17,500 according to the World Factbook.

** Developed Economies. A developed country, industrialized country, more developed country (MDC), or more economically developed country (MEDC), is a sovereign state that has a developed economy and advanced technological infrastructure relative to other less industrialized nations. Most commonly, the criteria for evaluating the degree of economic development are gross domestic product (GDP), gross national product (GNP), the per capita income, level of industrialization, amount of widespread infrastructure and general standard of living. Which criteria are to be used and which countries can be classified as being developed are subjects of debate. The GDP of the developed countries is predicted to fall from 2.2% in 2017 to 2.0% in 2018 due to the fall in dollar value.
** Developing Countries. A developing country is a country with a less developed industrial base (industries) and a low Human Development Index (HDI) relative to other countries. However, this definition is not universally agreed upon. There is also no clear agreement on which countries fit this category. A nation's GDP per capita, compared with other nations, can also be a reference point. In general, the United Nations accepts any country's claim of itself being "developing". The GDP of the developing countries is expected to rise from 4.3% in 2017 to 4.6% in 2018 due to political stability in those countries and advancement in technology.
** Least developed countries. The least developed countries (LDCs) is a list of developing countries that, according to the United Nations, exhibit the lowest indicators of socioeconomic development, with the lowest Human Development Index ratings of all countries in the world. The concept of LDCs originated in the late 1960s and the first group of LDCs was listed by the UN in its resolution 2768 (XXVI) of 18 November 1971. This is a group of countries that are expected to improve their GDP from 4.8% in 2017 to 5.4% in 2018. The predicted growth is associated advancement in technology and industrialization of those countries for the past decade.

* GDP – composition by sector: agriculture: 4%; industry: 32%; services: 64% (2004 est.)
* Inflation rate (consumer prices); In economics, inflation is a general rise in the price level in an economy over a period of time, resulting in a sustained drop in the purchasing power of money. When the general price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services; consequently, inflation reflects a reduction in the purchasing power per unit of money – a loss of real value in the medium of exchange and unit of account within the economy. The opposite of inflation is deflation, a sustained decrease in the general price level of goods and services. The common measure of inflation is the inflation rate, the annualized percentage change in a general price index, usually the consumer price index, over time. ''national inflation rates vary widely in individual cases, from declining prices in [[economy of Japan|Japan]] to hyperinflation (In economics, hyperinflation is very high and typically accelerating inflation) in several [[third world|Third World]] countries (2003)'':

== Economic studies ==
To promote exports, many government agencies publish on the web economic studies by sector and country. Among these agencies include the [[United States Commercial Service|USCS]] (US DoC) and [[Foreign Agricultural Service|FAS]] (USDA) in the United States, the [[Export Development Canada|EDC]] and [[Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada|AAFC]] in Canada, [[Ubifrance]] in France, the [[UK Trade & Investment|UKTI]] in the United Kingdom, the [[Hong Kong Trade Development Council|HKTDC]] and [[Japan External Trade Organization|JETRO]] in Asia, [[Austrade]] and the [[New Zealand Trade and Enterprise|NZTE]] in Oceania. Through Partnership Agreements, the Federation of International Trade Associations publishes studies from several of these agencies (USCS, FAS, AAFC, UKTI, and HKTDC) as well as other non-governmental organizations on its website globaltrade.net.
