How this statistic is built

Definition

Annual percent change in world gross domestic product at constant prices (aggregated in constant US dollars).

Limitations

Constant-dollar aggregation understates fast-growing economies relative to PPP weighting (the IMF's headline uses PPP). The latest year is provisional.
