About this chart
Netherlands remains ahead of Belgium throughout the shared annual GDP series from 1960 to 2025. In the final year, the comparison is $1,332.77 billion against $725.47 billion. The 2025 gap is $607.30 billion, and the larger total is about 1.84 times the smaller one. This compares the size of the two economies, not income per resident.
At the start of the common series in 1960, Netherlands recorded $13.28 billion and Belgium recorded $11.81 billion. The World Bank reports these totals in current US dollars. Inflation and exchange rates can change this comparison, so a rising dollar total does not by itself establish real economic growth. A purchasing-power or per-person comparison would answer a different question.
