Share of World GDP: Suriname

Analysis# Suriname Share of World GDP Suriname currently represents 0.007% of global GDP in 2026, matching its all-time low reached in 2020. This marks a dramatic decline from the country's peak of 0.019% in 1980, representing a 63.2% contraction over 46 years. The South American nation's share of world economic output has compressed significantly as larger economies have expanded and global GDP has shifted toward major industrial and emerging markets. The steepest deterioration occurred between 1980 and 2020, when Suriname's share fell by more than half. Since 2020, the metric has stabilized at 0.007%, suggesting the country has reached a floor rather than continuing to decline. Projections through 2030 show no anticipated recovery, indicating Suriname's economic growth trajectory remains insufficient to regain lost ground relative to global GDP expansion.
