$1.89 trillion in output would make Florida the world's 14th-largest economy if it were a country, the Florida Chamber Foundation said Tuesday.
The ranking compares U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis data with World Bank GDP figures, placing Florida behind larger national economies but ahead of where it stood previously.
The Chamber said Florida needs roughly 2% annual growth to pass South Korea, while about 21% more growth would be required to break into the global top 10.
The standing depends on the dataset: using an Investopedia list that puts the U.S. at $32.38 trillion, Florida would rank 16th instead.
