The US remains the world’s leading economy with a GDP of 30.8 trillion USD. China is 2nd at 19.8 trillion, followed by Germany, Japan, India, the UK, and France.

Analysts said Russia’s return to the top 10 largest economies reflects a recovery following earlier economic shocks, its ability to adapt to new conditions, and a stronger ruble. Russia’s gold reserves also rose sharply in 2025, increasing from 195 billion USD to 326 billion USD.
