Belarus

Belarus rose 3 places to 81st in 2025 as US$ GDP jumped 18.8% to US$93.4 billion, against real growth of just 1.3%; the gap was mostly exchange-rate and price effects. Industry accounts for 31.6% of output and manufacturing 20.5%, with services at 50.0% and agriculture 6.9%. Inflation was 6.6%, unemployment 3.4% and government gross debt 31.3% of GDP.

GDP per capita of US$10,279 ranks 89th of 196 but 70th on a purchasing-power basis, 19 places higher, as local prices are low. Output has grown 7.3 times in US$ terms since 2000, when Belarus ranked 82nd with GDP of US$12.7 billion. It now sits between Lithuania and DR Congo and is about the size of the Birmingham, AL metro area's 2024 GDP. The IMF projects GDP of US$130.6 billion by 2030, up 40%, which would place it 79th.
