Five KPIs to Understand the World

Five KPIs to Understand the World A great, simple article included in The World Ahead 2026 by The Economist, where for each country in the world it provides a snapshot with the following information: 1-GDP growth 2-GDP per person (also with PPP, US=100) 3-Inflation 4-Budget balance (as a % of GDP) 5-Population 6-For some countries, additional context is provided It is amazing how such simple KPIs can help you make an initial assessment of the world today. Although it was something I was already aware of, it was startling to see the population numbers and the relative levels of wealth in Asia-Pacific and MEA. With Europe, it was also a good reminder that GDP per person can be significantly diluted when taking into consideration the Purchasing Power Parity normalisation factors. An article and tool I will keep handy, as it provides significant value and allows us to put so much into perspective.
