REPORT

I. Latino Gross Domestic Product
The Latino GDP 2015

Figure GDP1. The Latino GDP, 2015.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) tells the story of a
region in two numbers: size and growth.

A region’s GDP is often used to compare its economy to
other regions’ economies, and to measure its growth
over time. A region’s GDP is often used by public and
private policymakers to guide their investment decisions.

The 55 million Latinos living and working in the U.S. in
2015 produced a Latino GDP of $2.13 trillion.

Figure GDP.2. Comparative Size of the Latino GDP.

One of the first characterstics of a region’s GDP used by
analysts is its size, relative to the GDPs of other regions.

The 2015 Latino GDP of $2.13 trillion ranks as the
seventh largest GDP in the world, compared to the
world’s ten largest economies.

The Latino GDP is larger than the GDP of India, Italy,
Brazil, or Canada, and is only slightly smaller than the
GDP of France or the United Kingdom.
