Current account / GDP rankings: 2024 reference snapshot

166 of 218 economies report this indicator in 2024; 52 have no observation. Use the year controls above to explore historical rankings on this page.

Macao: 33.73%. Rank 1 among reporting economies in 2024.
Kuwait: 29.03%. Rank 2 among reporting economies in 2024.
Marshall Islands: 21.87%. Rank 3 among reporting economies in 2024.
Qatar: 17.52%. Rank 4 among reporting economies in 2024.

Ranks can change because of the figures themselves or because different economies report from year to year. Compare years using each year's own coverage.

Understanding current account / gdp

The current account balance is expressed as a percentage of GDP, making the balance relative to economic size.

How to interpret the figures: The ratio can be positive or negative. A change can reflect movement in either the balance or GDP, and country percentages cannot be added into a world total.

In 2024, this snapshot includes 166 reporting economies for current account / gdp. Macao has the highest reported value at 33.73% (% of GDP). This ranking uses the same year for every economy and excludes missing observations.

Current account / GDP questions

What unit does this map use?

The series is measured in % of GDP. The ratio can be positive or negative. A change can reflect movement in either the balance or GDP, and country percentages cannot be added into a world total.

Why are some countries grey or absent from the ranking?

A grey country has no reported observation for the selected year. It does not have a value of zero. Only reporting economies receive a rank; use the timeline to inspect another year.

Can I compare countries over time?

Add up to four economies to the history chart. The timeline controls the map and ranking year; gaps in the lines preserve missing observations. The comparison keeps the same indicator and unit for all countries.

How do I download these figures?

Download CSV for the selected year's values or GeoJSON for the map geometry joined to that year. The original JSON series below contains every supplied year; country profiles show observation years for individual metrics.

Economic indicators in 2024

Each indicator shows the same observation year, its reporting coverage and the three highest reported values. Sums cover reporting economies only; rates and per-capita values are not added together.

Sources & methodology

This explorer uses a frozen snapshot retrieved on 6 October 2026, covering 1985–2025. The observation year is shown beside each value. World Bank WDI metadata records an API revision of 13 July 2026; retrieval date and observation year describe different things.

World Bank World Development Indicators supplies the main country series. Taiwan is included through a separate patch, labelled National Statistics, Taiwan (DGBAS) in the delivered files. The accompanying reference describes an IMF WEO patch; that provenance discrepancy remains unresolved. The Census population cross-check mentioned in the metadata is not a bundled data series.

Countries and territories are joined by ISO3 code to Natural Earth 110m boundaries. The map contains 177 polygons, plus 47 markers for economies without a polygon at this scale. It is a statistical overview; the geometry is not intended for detailed boundary work.

Rankings compare only economies reporting the selected indicator in the selected year. A missing value stays missing, zero and negative values remain valid, and ties receive the same rank. The map uses a logarithmic colour scale for large positive monetary totals and headcounts, and a linear scale for rates and signed values. The legend states the scale in use. Different money units are kept separate.

2024 is the default comparison year. Reporting coverage varies by indicator and year, especially in 2025; estimates may be included. Central government debt has particularly limited coverage and ends in 2024. Aggregate figures are sums over reporting economies with their reporting count, rather than complete world totals. Percentages and per-capita values are never summed.

For a source that updates directly from the API, use the live World Bank GDP per capita map. This explorer uses a fixed historical snapshot so its charts, rankings, downloads and page summaries agree.
