What part of its income a country saves rather than consumes.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country — the year is shown in the row. The table spans 1994 to 2025.
Top-20 · % of GDP
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

Gross national savings as a percent of GDP — what is left of national income after all consumption, private and public. Savings and capital formation differ by the balance of external transactions: a country that saves more than it invests at home exports capital, and one that invests more than it saves imports it. Hence the stable link with the current account balance, which is exactly what this indicator makes visible.
Important: The difference between savings and capital formation is approximately equal to the current account balance — that is an identity of the national accounts, not a coincidence.
How much a country puts in each year into buildings, equipment, infrastructure and inventories.
