# Germany → United States economic convergence

Indicator: GDP per capita (PPP) (constant 2021 international $)
Latest shared data: 2025
Germany: $62,824
United States: $76,931
Germany is at 82% of United States.

## Scenario

Germany annual growth: 0.5% (trailing 10-year average)
United States annual growth: 1.8% (trailing 10-year average)

## Result

If Germany grew 0.5% a year and United States 1.8% a year, Germany would never catch up with United States on GDP per capita (PPP).
