0 5460 yes little more than half a percent from 2003 to 2004 it will be equal to the EU s GDP The US econ did grow by more than that much in 2004 Also I don t consider the CIA to be a good source for this data They most likely did not gather it for themselves even if they did why trust them with the World Bank is a much more authoritative source for econ info but instead reaggregated someone else s data To me the World Bank is the authoritative source On their tables they don t show the EU at all and only list the EMU at the very end of the data with other super regional groupings
