Exchange Rate GDP Comparison, 2005 - 2014

sketchfab

This model reveals the exchange rates and nominal GDP of select countries compared to the USD and US GDP respectively from 2005-2014. Five countries are shown: Russia in green, Brazil in yellow, Japan in white, the UK in red, and Germany in black. The country currency/USD exchange rate and country GDP/US GDP ratios are normalized for clarity. Of note is that developing countries like Russia and Brazil far outpace the US, UK, Germany, and Japan in terms of GDP growth. However, this strong GDP growth does not appear to align with the exchange rate as seen by the British pound (GBP) and Russian ruble (RUB), which both experience general growth over this period. In contrast, the euro (EUR), yen (JPY), and Brazilian real (BRL) all decline during this time frame.
