Russia vs European Economy: Nominal & PPP GDP In 2025 – Brilliant Maps

The
map
above
shows
that
Russia’s
nominal
GDP
(according
to
the

IMF)
in
2025
$2.2
Trillion.
This
makes
it
the
world’s
11th
largest.

Or
put
another
way,
it
is
roughly
the
same
as
the
GDP
of
Spain
($1.8
Trillion),
Portugal
($320
Billion)
and
Andorra
($4
Billion)
put
together.

However,
Russia
has
146
million
people
compared
to
a
combined
60
million
in
Spain
(49
million),
Portugal
(10.6
million)
and
Andorra
(87k).

And
the
map
below
shows
how
many
Russia
sized
economies
there
are
in
Europe:

Russia
vs
European
Nominal
GDP
2025

First
of
all
Germany
($4.9
Trillion),
UK
($3.7
Trillion),
France
($3.3
Trillion)
and
Italy
($2.5
Trillion)
each
have
nominal
GDPs
greater
than
Russia’s.

On
top
of
that
the
following
blocks
also
have
similar
sized
economies,
around
$2.2
Trillion:

South-west
Europe:

• Spain
• Portugal
• Andorra

Balkans

• Turkey
• Greece
• Bulgaria
• Serbia
• North
  Macedonia
• Albania
• Bosnia
  &
  Herzegovina
• Croatia
• Slovenia

Neo-Scandinavia  

• Sweden
• Denmark
• Norway
• Iceland
• Ireland

Former
Russian
Orbit

• Ukraine
• Moldova
• Romania
• Slovakia
• Poland
• Lithuania
• Latvia
• Estonia
• Finland

Austria-Hungary

• Austria
• Hungary
• Czech
  Republic
• Switzerland

Benelux
&
The
Micro-States 

• Netherlands
• Belgium
• Luxembourg
• Cyprus
• Malta
• Liechtenstein
• Monaco
• San
  Marino

However,
there
is
so
objection
to
using
Nominal
GDP,
since
this
is
just
the
value
of
a
country’s
economy
translated
into
US
dollars
at
current
market
exchange
rates.
This
does
not
reflect
the
true
cost
of
living
in
a
country.

Therefore,
some
economists
use
PPP
$,
or
Purchasing
Power
Parity
which
is
an
attempt
to
better
reflect
how
far
your
money
goes
in
a
given
country.

On
that
basis,
Russia’s
economy
goes
from
the
11th
largest
to
the
4th
largest
according
to
the

IMF.
At
$7.1
Trillion
this
makes
it
bigger
than
any
single
other
European
economy.
