Question[edit]

what is france leading imports and exports

GDP ranking[edit]

France has the FIFTH GDP in 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just look at all the 2008 rankings (CIA, IMF...), France has now a larger GDP than the UK, by a wide margin.

So please, all the brits, you have to face the truth and be honnest. Vandalism is not a solution.

That data is from 2007, for the 2010 and 2011 ones, France surpassed Britain in term of GDP

France: 2,555,439

United Kingdom: 2,258,565

Foot notes[edit]

Vandalism of GDP figures[edit]

There has been serial vandalism of the economy pages for Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Japan, Malaysia and Morocco. The vandalism has involved repeated reversions of correct GDP data from the IMF 2023 GDP (nominal and PPP) estimates^[1]--the citations are never changed, just the figures and the denomination. For example, Germany's IMF 2023 nominal GDP estimate is USD$4.308 trillion; the edits changed it to EUR and increased it to €5.011 trillion. I have reverted these changes, all made by the same unregistered user (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2A00:23C5:980:B601:991F:665A:31CA:ECA4).
