Kyselin Grokilta miltä Nordean toimintaympäristön maat kokonaisuutena näyttäisivät, laitoin huvikseni mukaan myös Islannin.
Eihän tämä Suomi-surkeuden muurien yli kurkatessa yhtään hullummulta näytä, 28 miljoonan asukkaan ja 1860 mrd USD talouden power house, joka suuruudeltaan olisi maailman rankingissä noin #12 tai #13, kokoluokaltaan vähän alle Italian ja Kanadan sekä samaa luokkaa tai isompi kuin Etelä-Korea, Venäjä, Brasilia, Australia.
Mitä noihin työttömyyslukuihin tulee, Suomessa ja Ruotsissahan on talouden potentiaalia työttömyysluvuista päätellen…
Pitäisi vaan tulla taiotuksia väelle korkean tuottavuuden potentiaalisia töitä, sellaisia jotka tuottavat kansantalouteen eivätkä vain kustanna. No se on sitten eri tarina…
If you combine Gdp of Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway and Iceland how big economy would that be, and what would be the position in world gdp ranking. What would be the population?
Summary
Combined GDP: ~$1.86 trillion (2023 nominal).
World GDP Ranking: Approximately 12th or 13th, between Brazil and Australia.
Combined Population: ~27.89 million.
This hypothetical Nordic economy would be a high-income, mid-sized global player, comparable to Brazil in economic size but with a much smaller population. For context, its GDP per capita would be ~$66,600, among the world’s highest, reflecting the region’s wealth and productivity
Combined GDP
Based on IMF data for 2023 (nominal GDP at current prices):
Sweden: $593.3 billion
Norway: $526.9 billion
Denmark: $405.7 billion
Finland: $301.7 billion
Iceland: $30.6 billion
Total Combined GDP = $593.3 + $526.9 + $405.7 + $301.7 + $30.6 = $1,858.2 billion (or approximately $1.86 trillion).
World GDP Ranking
To determine the position in world GDP rankings, we compare the combined GDP to individual countries’ nominal GDPs for 2023 (using IMF or World Bank data). The top economies include:
United States: ~$25.5 trillion
China: ~$18.3 trillion
Japan: ~$4.2 trillion
Germany: ~$4.1 trillion
India: ~$3.4 trillion
United Kingdom: ~$3.1 trillion
France: ~$2.8 trillion
Italy: ~$2.0 trillion
Canada: ~$2.0 trillion
South Korea: ~$1.7 trillion
Russia: ~$1.8 trillion (estimates vary)
Brazil: ~$1.9 trillion
Australia: ~$1.7 trillion
Spain: ~$1.4 trillion
Mexico: ~$1.4 trillion
Indonesia: ~$1.3 trillion
The combined GDP of $1.86 trillion would place the Nordic economies between Brazil ($1.9 trillion) and Australia (~$1.7 trillion), likely around 12th or 13th in global rankings, depending on precise figures for Russia and Brazil. It would surpass countries like Australia, Spain, Mexico, and Indonesia but fall short of Canada and Italy.
Combined Population
Using 2023 population estimates from Statista and other sources:
Sweden: 10.55 million
Denmark: 5.90 million
Finland: 5.56 million
Norway: 5.49 million
Iceland: 0.39 million
Total Combined Population = 10.55 + 5.90 + 5.56 + 5.49 + 0.39 = 27.89 million.
