Precision

The headline is stored to 15 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 FSIN’s published GRFC tables, using only its own whole-country rows marked as included in the report. Where FSIN reports a country solely as sub-populations it is absent rather than summed — Palestine is the case that matters, published as Gaza Strip and West Bank with no combined figure.
