About this chart
2019 marks the latest change of leader in this annual GDP comparison: Bangladesh moves ahead. By 2025, Bangladesh records $456.32 billion, compared with $407.31 billion for Pakistan. The 2025 gap is $49.01 billion, and the larger total is about 1.12 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, Pakistan recorded $3.75 billion and Bangladesh recorded $4.27 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.
