This statistic shows (click here) the year on year development of the gross domestic product (GDP) of the United Kingdom (UK) from 2000 to 2017. After declines in GDP in 2008 and 2009, there was annual growths over the remainder of the assessed period, peaking in 2014....

The GDP currently is $2.622 trillion US in 2017. Per capita GDP is $39,720.44 US in 2017. Ten years earlier in 2007, the per capita GDP of Great Britain was $50,134.32 US. That is a drop in per capita GDP of $10,413.88 after the global economic collapse. That is palpable for any person in a First World Country. Then the new deprivation lead to a political movement called Brexit.

Brexit is an icon for Exiting the EU and reinstating British law. The current Brexit is turning out to be different than just turning back the clock to before Great Britain joined the EU. Oddly, the Pound Sterling is today the continued currency of Great Britain as it was before the Euro.

True to form of a European country with a smaller footprint geographically, the population in Great Britain has been relatively level over five decades. The grow was slow and steady though. In 1960 the population was 52.4 million and in 2017 the population is 66.02 million people. That is an increase of 14.38 million over 57 years or 250,000 per year.
