Key findings

This report covers 3 economies and 1 indicator over 2015–2025, containing 33 published observations (100% of the 33 requested year × economy cells). Every figure is reproduced from World Bank Open Data and recomputed into growth, share, trend-fit, momentum, volatility, concentration and data-quality views. Values are also available as JSON and CSV from the same endpoint.

Indicator	Rank 1	Latest value	CAGR / period avg	Trend	Economies	Latest yr
GDP growth (annual %)	China	4.96	5.71%	-0.24 pp	3	2025

GDP growth (annual %)

Latest reading is highest in China at 4.96% and lowest in Japan at 1.19%. Period average is 2.94%, with a cross-economy spread of 3.77 percentage points. This is a rate of change rather than a level, so compound growth and a growth index are not defined for it; the trend is reported in percentage points per year. Fitted trend is steepest upward in United States (+0.04 pp/yr, percentage points per year, R² 0.004) and weakest in China (-0.24 pp/yr, R² 0.195). Largest acceleration — last three years against the three before — is Japan at +528.5% percentage points. The largest covered value is 4.2× the smallest. 3 economies covered; latest observation year 2025.

Latest reading, by economy

Ranked detail

Group average over the period: 2.94%. Cross-economy spread of the latest reading: 3.77 percentage points. A rate of change has no compound growth rate, so none is reported.

#	Economy	Latest	Period avg	Trend pp/yr	Pctile
1	China	4.96	5.71	-0.24	100
2	United States	2.16	2.48	+0.04	67
3	Japan	1.19	0.631	-0.04	33

Period average is the mean of the annual readings across the covered years. Trend pp/yr is the ordinary-least-squares slope in percentage points per year — the unit this indicator is already measured in. Percentile ranks this economy within the covered group.

Trend and dynamics

Economy	Trend pp/yr	Trend R²	Momentum	Half-period shift	Volatility	Latest YoY	Peak / trough yr	Outlier years
China	-0.24	0.20	-25.7%	+68.4%	94.6	+0.0%	2021 / 2020	2021 (+266%)
United States	+0.04	0.00	-55.7%	+100.3%	147.0	-22.6%	2021 / 2020	2021 (+396%)
Japan	-0.04	0.01	+528.5%	+388.6%	476.2	+597.0%	2021 / 2020	2020 (-1288%)

Trend is the ordinary-least-squares fit of value on year, reported with its R² — how much of the movement the straight line explains, in percentage points per year because this series is already a rate. Momentum is the mean change of the last three years minus the mean of the three before it, in percentage points. Half-period shift compares the second half of the window against the first. Volatility is the standard deviation of year-over-year change. Outlier years exceed 2.5 standard deviations from that economy's own average change.

MethodologySeries are pulled from the official source API and null observations dropped. CAGR = (end/start)^(1/years) − 1. Index uses the first year of the range as 100. Trend is an OLS fit of value on year, reported as a percentage of the period mean alongside its R². Volatility = standard deviation of year-over-year percentage change (percentage points). Momentum compares the last three years against the three before. Share = economy value ÷ sum of the covered economies. HHI = sum of squared shares; its reciprocal estimates the number of evenly sized economies. Cross-indicator correlation is Pearson's r on pooled year-over-year changes.
CoverageRequested: 1 indicator(s) × 3 economies × 11 years = 33 cells; published: 33 (100.0%). Sparse indicators are declared in the Data quality section of each indicator.
