World Bank (World Development Indicators)IMF observations may be estimates or projections. The stored records do not establish their publisher release vintage, actual-versus-estimate status or country-specific fiscal-year mapping. A shared reference-year label does not prove identical calendar periods. Nominal GDP is converted from stored billions of US dollars to US dollars; GDP per person already uses dollars per person.
World Bank population figures are midyear estimates. Population growth is the exponential change between successive midyear populations, expressed as an annual percentage. A population count and a growth rate can refer to different years.
Totals include only the explicitly described countries and reference years. Missing readings are not zero. Country growth, inflation, unemployment and debt percentages are not summed or presented as global rates. GDP per person is not calculated by dividing totals from different years or coverage.
These are current stored readings, not a single immutable publication vintage. Open a value for its series and history; unrounded values are available beside each reading. Monetary totals describe nominal output at market exchange rates, not purchasing-power-parity output.
