Key findings

This report covers 2 economies and 1 indicator over 2015–2025, containing 22 published observations (100% of the 22 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.

GDP growth (annual %)

Latest reading is highest in India at 7.57% and lowest in China at 4.96%. Period average is 5.89%, with a cross-economy spread of 2.61 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. The largest covered value is 1.5× the smallest. 2 economies covered; latest observation year 2025.

Ranked detail

Group average over the period: 5.89%. Cross-economy spread of the latest reading: 2.61 percentage points. A rate of change has no compound growth rate, so none is reported.

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

India +0.02 0.00 +0.9% +111.0% 122.9 +6.6% 2021 / 2020 —

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) × 2 economies × 11 years = 22 cells; published: 22 (100.0%). Sparse indicators are declared in the Data quality section of each indicator.
