The gross domestic product (GDP) of a country can be defined as the value of the total final output of all goods and services produced in a single year within a country's boundaries. The growth is expressed as a percent.

Of the 189 countries around the world whose GDPs are tracked by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), San Marino, Greece, the Central African Republic and Italy have been posting the worst average growth in the decade between 2006 and 2015, having taken a particularly hard hit in the global downturn that started in earnest in 2007. Newly established South Sudan actually registered the lowest average GDP growth of all, because of the rocky start of this experiment.
The top of the ranking of countries with the lowest average GDP growth largely comprises members of the European Union, especially those in the so-called periphery – not only Greece and Italy, but also Croatia, Portugal, Cyprus, Spain -- as well as many island nations from both the Caribbean, like Jamaica (11th) and Barbados (13th,) and the Pacific Ocean, such as Palau and Micronesia (respectively 9th and 12th).
Press Briefing: World Economic Outlook 2014
Countries in Europe continue to suffer the effects of the global financial crisis and the resulting sovereign debt crisis across the Eurozone. Italy has been in a recession for 11 of the past 12 quarters. Greece’s economy started contracting, if slightly, in 2008 and only in 2014 it seems to have stopped its increasingly rapid downward spiral, with a meager but still positive 0.6% growth.
In Africa, the Central African Republic posted a huge economic contraction in 2013 in the midst of continued political instability due to an ongoing civil war.
Overall, “downside risks have increased since the spring,” writes the IMF in its latest World Economic Outlook report from October 2014. “Short term risks include a worsening of geopolitical tensions and a reversal of recent risk spread and volatility compression in financial markets. Medium-term risks include stagnation and low potential growth in advanced economies and a decline in potential growth in emerging markets.”
