About this chart

Singapore's climb is one of the steepest in the data. Its GDP was $11.9 billion in 1980, when it ranked 59th in the world, then $96 billion in 2000 (42nd), $240 billion in 2010 and a record $604 billion in 2025 (27th). Setbacks have been mild for a small, trade-dependent economy: the largest were 14 percent in 1998, from $100 billion to $86 billion, and 7 percent each in 2001 and 2020.

Among its three nearest economies, Singapore in 2025 is behind Sweden ($669 billion) and Israel ($611 billion) and ahead of Austria ($580 billion). Sweden has been ahead throughout. Israel is the tight race, only about $7 billion apart, and the two have swapped places in 2010, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2024 and 2025. Singapore has led Austria since 2024.
