The Gross Domestic Product of Brazil reached R$ 10.9 trillion, according to the most recent regional data from IBGE, revealing a high economic concentration in the Southeast and large disparities among states and regions of the country.

The survey uses nominal GDP values by federal units, based on the Regional Accounts System, with 2023 as the most recent base year officially released in 2025.

Regional Concentration Dominates National GDP

The Southeast accounted for R$ 5.80 trillion, more than half of the Brazilian GDP. South, Northeast, Central-West and North follow, with significantly smaller shares.

São Paulo alone concentrated 31.5% of the national economy, highlighting the productive, financial and industrial centralization of the country in a few state hubs.

Largest State GDPs in Brazil

São Paulo leads with R$ 3.44 trillion, followed by Rio de Janeiro, with R$ 1.17 trillion, and Minas Gerais, which reached R$ 972 billion.

Next are Paraná, with R$ 671 billion, Rio Grande do Sul, with R$ 650 billion, and Santa Catarina, which totaled R$ 513 billion.

Bahia recorded R$ 431 billion, establishing itself as the largest economy in the Northeast, while Goiás reached R$ 337 billion, leading the Central-West outside the Federal District.

States with Lowest Participation in GDP

On the other end, Roraima showed the lowest state GDP, with R$ 25 billion, followed by Acre, with R$ 26 billion, and Amapá, with R$ 28 billion.

Tocantins totaled R$ 64 billion, while Rondônia reached R$ 76 billion. These states maintain individual participation below 1% of the national GDP.

The concentration highlights structural, logistical and productive challenges that limit the economic expansion of these federal units.

Economic Inequality Remains Structural

The data reinforces that aggregate growth does not automatically translate into balanced regional distribution, maintaining historical differences between industrial centers and peripheral regions.

Experts point out that infrastructure, human capital, and productive diversification remain decisive factors for altering this scenario in the long term.
