World Bank derived GEM observations; publisher native values and adjustment are preserved. Only reviewed individual countries/territories are included; regional/global aggregates are excluded. The workbook supplies no observation flags, detailed national methodological breaks or currency codes. No growth rate, quarter, currency conversion, annualization, deflation or rebasing is inferred. Quarterly GDP is the publisher quarterly measure, not guaranteed to be comparable with another publisher annual-rate convention. Local-currency levels and FX magnitudes cannot be compared across countries or across unreported currency redenominations. Monthly FX is an official period average, not a live currency-market quote; reserve cover refers only to merchandise imports. Rights apply to the World Bank published derived dataset, not underlying Datastream feeds.
