List of Japanese prefectures by GDP

Last updated November 17, 2024

This is a list of Japanese prefectures by GDP. Prefectural statistics are estimates of economic activity at the prefecture level calculated in accordance with Japan's national accounts.

Methodology

The article lists the GDP of Japanese prefectures in main fiscal years, where all figures are obtained from the Statistics Bureau of Japan (日本統計局). Calculating GDP of Japanese prefectures is based on Japanese yen (JP¥), for easy comparison, all the GDP figures are converted into United States dollar (US$) or Renminbi (CN¥) according to current annual average exchange rates.

Note that due to heavy changes in yen/yuan/dollar rates, nominal GDP may not reflect relative economic strength in foreign currency terms, meaning that comparisons between years and prefectures are most meaningful in the native currency, the yen.

In 2011, the yen/dollar rate is 79.8 (average), valuing Japan's nominal 2011 GDP figure of 468.1 trillion yen,^[1] at US $5.87 trillion or 37.9 trillion yuan (at 6.4588/dollar). That is less than the revised 2011 figure for China of 47.16 trillion yuan.^[2] Using May 2013 exchange rates, the yen/dollar rate is 100, valuing Japan's 2011 nominal GDP at US $4.68 trillion or 28.688 trillion yuan (at 6.13/dollar).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">History of Chinese currency</span>

The history of Chinese currency spans more than 3000 years. Currency of some type has been used in China since the Neolithic age which can be traced back to between 3000 and 4500 years ago. Cowry shells are believed to have been the earliest form of currency used in Central China, and were used during the Neolithic period.

The yuan is the base unit of a number of former and present-day currencies in Chinese.

The economy of Guangdong is one of the most prosperous in China.

Renminbi currency value is a debate affecting the Chinese currency unit, the renminbi.
