World Gross Domestic Product and Population figures by country. I was surprised to learn that Indonesia had the 4th highest population, but relieved to discover their economy was only 23rd largest. Before checking it out I would have not guessed the population or GDP of Indonesia to be that high. Thank you for spurring my curiosity. here is a table of the 30 largest countries by GDP and population statistics. Note that the G7 countries account for 67% of world GDP.
