Adjusted Net Savings

32 years, 1990–2021 · 118 countries

Adjusted net savings takes a country’s savings, subtracts the natural resources it used up and the damage its pollution did, and adds what it spent on education. What is left is an estimate of whether the country is genuinely building wealth or living off the capital it already has.

This site holds every year from 1990 to 2021, read from World Bank Group’s own data and stored exactly as published.

Precision

The headline is stored to 17 decimals, as published.

Rounded by this site

Never. Tables on screen may show fewer decimals; the files never do.

Changed by this site

Reshaped into one row per country: regional and income-group totals are left out, only the columns listed are kept, each row gets its ISO 3166 code, and some country names are brought to one spelling. No value is recalculated, rescaled or rounded.

From the World Bank’s Changing Wealth of Nations, served through its indicator API (NY.ADJ.SVNG.GN.ZS). This is the variant including particulate emission damage.
