Briefings

The IMF projects Brazil will return to eighth place in the global GDP ranking by 2027, surpassing Russia and Italy. Brazil's GDP is projected to reach US$2.80 trillion in 2027, while it ended 2026 at US$2.655 trillion, placing it tenth that year. Brazil previously held seventh place in 1995 and 2010-2014, and the IMF estimates it will maintain eighth place through 2031.

Key points

• Brazil is projected to reach US$2.80 trillion in GDP in 2027, surpassing Russia and Italy to return to eighth place globally.
• Brazil's GDP was at US$2.655 trillion in 2026, ending the year at tenth place, and the IMF estimates it will maintain eighth place through 2031.

Context

The IMF's 'Perspectivas da Economia Mundial' document, released in October 2026, provides the ranking data. Brazil's GDP growth is forecasted at 2.2% for 2026, with the final GDP figure calculated using nominal prices including taxes.

Limitations

The evidence covers only the 2026-2031 period and the global GDP ranking. It does not include data on GDP per capita, income distribution, or living standards. The 2031 projection is based on the last known ranking position (eighth place) and assumes no changes in the ranking order.
