Can someone give me a definitive list of the top 10 world economies ranked by GNP?

Answer 1

It's kind of strange that many people are asking about GNP these days. The numbers aren't really published that well compared to GDP. There's an old study here: http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/gnp.html

It looks pretty similar to the GDP countries, so you can use GDP if you don't mind some error here and there.

With GDP, the rank (in millions of dollars) would be

United States 12,485,725
Japan 4,571,314
Germany 2,797,343
People's Republic of China 1 2,224,811
United Kingdom 2,201,473
France 2,105,864
Italy 1,766,160
Canada 1,130,208
Spain 1,126,565
South Korea 793,070

Answer 2

It seems to change daily ... if it's measured in $dollars etc. As the various currencies fluctuate.

GNP is the truest and probably most accurate measurement of a countries wealth...etc. Some countries in the Far East, and Ireland for example - export lots of products and services - for foreign owned companies. ( So there is a sizeable difference in GDP & GNP figures )

Having said that, the - U.S. and the U.K - have billions $ of "Invisible" earning's annauly ( earned by multi-national corp. not calculated as domestic earning's ..etc )

But i think its something like =
(per-population) ..etc.

Denmark
Norway
Belguim
Canada
Switzerland
U.S.A
Singapore
Finland
Japan
U.K.

P.S. Im sure it has changed again... since i started typing this :)

I can't rank them but they are the same as the G8 or G10.
