 | Growth in global output (gross world product) (GWP) (in this article defined as GDP converted to US$ through estimated purchasing power parity exchange rates) fell from 4.8% in 2000 to 2.2% in 2001 and 2.7% in 2002. |
| The causes: sluggishness in the US economy (21.6% of GWP) and in the EU economy (21.4% of GWP) ; continued stagnation in the Japanese economy (7.0% of GWP); and spillover effects in the less developed regions of the world. |
| Growth in global output (gross world product, GWP) rose to 3% in 1999 from 2% in 1998 despite continued recession in Japan, severe financial difficulties in other East Asian countries, and widespread dislocations in several transition economies, notably Russia. |

| As the differences in base-year data are relatively large, the gross world product paths are plotted as an index and spliced to historical data in 1990. |
| The historical gross world product growth rate has been about 4% per year since 1950; in the scenarios the average annual growth rates to 2100 range from 3.2% per year to 1.1% per year, with the median value at 2.3% per year. |
