California is now the 4th largest economy in the world
What you need to know: California's economy continues to dominate and grow at a faster rate than the world's top economies, with new data showing it has overtaken Japan as the 4th largest economy in the world.
SACRAMENTO — Governor Gavin Newsom today announced that California has officially overtaken Japan to become the world's fourth-largest economy, according to newly released data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).
"California isn't just keeping pace with the world—we're setting the pace. Our economy is thriving because we invest in people, prioritize sustainability, and believe in the power of innovation. And, while we celebrate this success, we recognize that our progress is threatened by the reckless tariff policies of the current federal administration. California's economy powers the nation, and it must be protected."
Governor Gavin Newsom
According to the IMF's 2024 World Economic Outlook data released yesterday, and BEA data California's nominal GDP reached $4.1 trillion, surpassing Japan's $4.02 trillion, and placing California behind only the United States, China, and Germany in global rankings. California's GDP figure is based on the latest state-level GDP data from the BEA.
Outperforming the nation
California's economy is growing at a faster rate than the world's top three economies. In 2024, California's growth rate of 6% outpaced the top three economies: U.S. (5.3%), China (2.6%) and Germany (2.9%). California's success is long-term –the state's economy grew strongly over the last four years, with an average nominal GDP growth of 7.5% from 2021 to 2024. Preliminary data indicates India is projected to surpass California by 2026.
California is the backbone of the nation's economy
With an increasing state population and recent record-high tourism spending, California is the nation's top state for new business starts, access to venture capital funding, and manufacturing, high-tech, and agriculture.

The state drives national economic growth and also sends over $83 billion more to the federal government than it receives in federal funding. California is the leading agricultural producer in the country and is also the center for manufacturing output in the United States, with over 36,000 manufacturing firms employing over 1.1 million Californians.
The Golden State's manufacturing firms have created new industries and supplied the world with manufactured goods spanning aerospace, computers and electronics, and, most recently, zero-emission vehicles.
Protecting California's economy
Governor Gavin Newsom is protecting California's economy, and last week filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging the president's use of emergency powers to enact broad-sweeping tariffs that hurt states, consumers, and businesses. The lawsuit seeks to end President Trump's tariff chaos, which has wreaked havoc on the economy, destabilized the stock and bond markets, caused hundreds of billions of dollars in losses, and inflicted higher costs for consumers and businesses. These harms will only continue to grow, as President Trump's tariffs are projected to shrink the U.S. economy by $100 billion annually.
