Read before you use

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2026 release

    Every year in this series comes from UNCTAD’s 2026 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 2006.

  • 160 distinct values among 161

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 5 decimals. 2 countries share 0.0951. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 161 countries has every column.
