About This Dataset
Countries Where Households Spend the Most of GDP 2023
The 20 countries where household spending accounts for the largest share of GDP in 2023. Lebanon is highest at 136% of GDP, ahead of Somalia at 128.5% and Kiribati at 111.9%. Data covers 172 countries.
Analysis
The median country sees households spend 62.6% of GDP. A very high share is not a sign of wealth: it usually means investment and exports are small, so almost all economic activity is families buying necessities. 5 of the 172 measured are at or above 100%, which happens when a country consumes more than it produces and covers the gap with aid or remittances.
