Jakarta (VNA) - The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has ranked Indonesia's gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in 2024, adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP), 8th in the world, at 4.98 trillion USD.
Accordingly, Indonesia surpasses both France and the UK, with the IMF reporting their GDPs at 4.36 trillion USD and 4.28 trillion USD, respectively.
