You just have to take a look at updated info. Besides spain is growing at a faster rate than italy (aproximately 4 times faster) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.36.247.21 ( talk) 18:23, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
If something pointless such as the EU is to be included under "COUNTRIES by GDP", not unions, then the AU and all other similar Unions need to be included. I can really not think of one logical reason as to why the EU is included on this list, not one. This is a specifically of countries. Can someone please give me one valid reason as to why its included?
What happened to the World Bank & CIA lists? Where have they gone? How can we be sure the information provided here is completely accurate if the relevant and accurate information of similar World Recognised Organisations is being ignored? Shouldn't all relevant statistics of nominal GDP information by respected and World recognised organisations be included rather than certain users deciding that we will only use the figures from one particular organisation over another? This is supposed to be an encyclopedia with relevant information from respected sources - not a place to choose and prefer one version of reality over another. jkm 16:03, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
And after the first list of only the IMF now we have the IMF and the World bank. Either there was a coincidence that the CIA factbook wasn't added back or there was a reason, probably because the CIA factbook lists the USA as having the highest economy in the world, methinks a european or just another bland anti-american has been editing this... 207.6.113.119 06:23, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Only GDP (PPP) appears in the basic data of each country. However,the argument is divided about the credibility of PPP. Should not GDP (nominal) be written together, either?
What sources did you guys base on to rank India as having the second largest GDP, even outdoing Japan, Germany and the PRC?
Where in the blue hell is the Republic Of Ireland? I have numerous sources of it being in the Top 20 richest countries and it aint even in the list! Pog Ma Thoin!
Oh lol. My bad.
It was actually reported in July 2005 that India had become the 10th largest economy (nominal GDP) in the world, although I have to find an actual source for this. This page still lists India as 12th?? If there is no objection I will edit this page along with a credible source.

BBC just broadcast that China has passed Britain as world's 4th largest economy.
Hongkong SAR has been part of China since 1997, the Chinese central government have full control of the city of Hongkong. I don't see why would Hongkong be listed as a separate "country" while Puerto Rico, which is officially not a US state or city, not being listed as a country. The CIA World Factbook correctly lists Puerto Rico as a separate country, https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/rq.html —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.172.82.62 ( talk • contribs) 18:24, February 4, 2006 (UTC).
I recently reverted to a prior version of the article/list. I am all for including updated figures (i.e., 2005 IMF estimates) and believe they are good-faith edits (I even added a proviso earlier); however upon perusal, some of the values are incomplete and I restored a prior list where confidence in the figures is higher. Please test here or in the sandbox beforehand.
I'd also like to remind editors – and you know who you are – of reverting and referring to good-faith edits as vandalism. Moreover, continued attempts to insinuate a top-bottom table arrangement without renewed discussion, despite consensus support for a side-by-side arrangement to the contrary, will be dealt with appropriately.

Whoever tried to edit China's GDP for 2004, please refrain from doing so. I know that in December 2005, China has revised upwards its GDP figure from 1993-2004 by about 16.8%. However, it must be understood that the GDP list here is based ONLY from IMF and World Bank, which have yet to update its 2004 GDP figure for China. Although the true correct GDP figure for China in 2004 is approximately US$1.95 trillion, this is not based on any information from World Bank and IMF. So, please leave it as it is at approximate US$1.6 trillion. This is false and outdated, I agree and I repeat, but I want to be consistent with whatever IMF and World Bank figures provide, no matter how inaccurate their data is.

I only added a pointer to that new page from this page. It seems that it is useful information to add as a separate page. Cantus, you made the mod..could you explain the reason to not add the information on a separate location? Thanks 165.140.4.22 00:36, 20 April 2006 (UTC) blwang
It seems that the page that I was adding was following the wiki rules. It was verifiable and from a reliable source. The IMF database.
As noted in my notes in the Canada section 15 of this discussion. The IMF projections more closely match other reliable sources like statistics canada for the canada entry and other countries current statistical reports.
I saw that someone else had created the estimated PPP for 2006 and there was a link for an uncreated page for estimated GDP nominal 2006. So I created that page and a matching on for 2007.
It would be interesting if, in addition to NAFTA and the European Union, the Mercosur trade bloc were included in GDP Nominal terms. Maybe someone could figure that out. Vivaldi4Stagioni 23:08, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
