The number of economies with a trillion-dollar GDP has risen to 18 countries over the past two decades, an increase of 11 countries, with Turkey being the latest member of the trillion-dollar club this year, after Saudi Arabia joined the list in 2022.
The United States was the first economy in the world to reach this mark in 1969, Japan second in 1978, Germany third in 1986, while France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and China joined in 1998. Spain and Canada received membership cards for the club in 2004, followed by South Korea and Brazil two years later, and a year before the financial crisis, India, along with Russia and Mexico, became members of the list. The Netherlands joined in 2021, preceded by Indonesia and Australia.
