Indonesia Achieves A Top 8 Position In The Global Economy

Tuesday, 21 Jan 2025

Indonesia has successfully attained the 8th position in the ranking of the world's largest economies based on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) adjusted for Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) for the year 2024, according to data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). 

This ranking places Indonesia above developed nations such as France and the United Kingdom, highlighting significant growth amidst global challenges. BRICS countries, including China, India, and Russia, have also demonstrated similar advancements, even surpassing G7 nations in terms of GDP PPP. 

Utilizing GDP adjusted for PPP provides a more accurate representation of a country's purchasing power. This method takes into account the differences in living costs, which tend to be lower in developing countries like India and Indonesia compared to developed nations. With this approach, China, the United States, and India continue to lead as the three largest economies in the world. 

Nevertheless, the PPP approach has its limitations. The assumption that consumption patterns of goods and services are similar worldwide is not always accurate. However, Indonesia's achievement of the 8th position signifies a continuously evolving economic potential, serving as a beacon of optimism for the future of the national economy on the global stage.
