IMF · definition, capture and attribution
- Definition
- Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at current prices in US dollars. GDP is the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country's borders in a given year. This measure uses nominal exchange rates to convert local currency values to US dollars.From archived SOTW metadata.
- Methodology
- The IMF compiles GDP data from national statistical agencies and central banks. For the World Economic Outlook (WEO), IMF staff review national accounts data, apply adjustments for methodological differences, and produce forecasts for the current and following years. GDP is calculated using the expenditure approach (C + I + G + NX) or the production approach (sum of value added across sectors). The conversion to US dollars uses the average market exchange rate for the year.

World Bank · definition, capture and attribution
- Definition
- Gross domestic product is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period. It can be measured in three different ways: using either the expenditure approach, the income approach, or the production approach. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This indicator is expressed in United States dollars.From archived SOTW metadata.

Coverage notes
- Comparisons align publisher year labels. Exact fiscal or calendar date boundaries are not established from these stored rows.
- Observation status and publisher vintage are unknown. A past reference year does not establish that a reading is an observed outturn.
- Archived recording times describe transaction-final SOTW stored state. Source publication times and database commit availability are not established.
- Publishers may share upstream national statistics; two readings are not necessarily independent evidence.
- Raw source captures are retained privately where available. A checksum identifies bytes; it does not certify economic accuracy.
- Fallback definitions, source links and reviewed units come from this processing version’s reference catalog. They are not vintage-specific publisher metadata; their review dates are listed separately.
SOTW recorded revision timeline
Stored-state history begins 2026-10-09T02:08:06.522996+00:00. Baseline entries record the state at that starting point; source capture times above describe retained source files separately. Earlier publisher revisions are not established. Observation events below cover the selected reference year; metadata events cover its source definitions.
Raw stored values retain their native scale and may be in billions. No currency conversion or canonical-unit normalization is applied to this timeline; changes in source metadata require review.

Values by reference year from the selected SOTW capture. This table does not show changes across publisher vintages.
How to read this comparison
The latest common past year selects the newest shared year label before the cutoff’s calendar year. An exact year never substitutes another label. Differences use reviewed units and compatible concept mappings; rates use percentage points. Check publisher period conventions, geographic coverage and methodology before interpreting a difference. Different definitions remain visible with the difference withheld.
SOTW capture times describe database records. They do not establish when a publisher first released a value or what was available to users on that date. Evidence exports describe the stored comparison and its hashes; they do not prove an original raw publisher response.
