There are three lists of countries of the world sorted by their gross domestic product (GDP), the value of all final goods and services produced within a nation in a given year. GDP dollar estimates here are derived from purchasing power parity (PPP) calculations. Using a PPP basis is arguably more useful for comparing differences in living standards because it takes into account the relative cost of living, and inflation rates between countries, rather than just using exchange rates, which have the potential to distort the real differences in income. The market exchange rate GDP (MER) is more useful for understanding the international economic purchasing power and the total value of tradeable goods and services of different countries.

The first table include data for the year 2005 for all 180 members of the International Monetary Fund, excluding East Timor for which information is not available, plus the unranked entities: world and European Union. Data are in millions of international dollars and calculated by the International Monetary Fund.

The second table shows 162 national entities as well as figures for the European Union and the World. This list was produced by the World Bank. Data are for the year 2005, with figures in millions of international dollars.

The third is the tabulation of the CIA World Factbook data update of April 2006, according to the data provided by the CIA. Figures are estimates in millions of international dollars, for various years ranging from 1993 to 2005 (most figures are however for the year 2005).
