2026-02-24Where the data comes from
Every figure is from World Bank Open Data, pulled from its Indicators API (CC BY 4.0) and committed as a dated snapshot (retrieved June 2026). Each indicator uses the most-recent year the World Bank reports for that country, so values are not all from the same year — the year is always shown. See our methodology for the full list of indicators and limitations. Figures are nominal (current US$) unless noted.
