Gross savings (% of GDP)·Neither end is better — this is a shape, not a score·Published by World Bank Group

47 reference years (1978–2024), covering 80 to 166 countries, pulled from the World Bank’s indicator API (NY.GNS.ICTR.ZS). National income left over after everything a country consumed, as a share of GDP. ⚠ THE RANGE IS EXTREME AND THAT IS NOT AN ERROR: readings run from about −129% to +373%. A large negative is an economy consuming far more than it earns, living on aid or remittances; a very large positive is usually a small economy with a resource windfall. ⚠ A structural share, not a score — the ordering is a reading convention, and it is out of the Country Index. ⚠ NEITHER END IS BETTER, so this indicator carries no good/bad colouring anywhere on the site and does not feed its topics’ rankings — it is charted on them, not scored by them. ⚠ These are not 47 published reports — see `restatedByReport`. ⚠ No rank is published. A POSITION is derived here (2026-09-10) by ordering the score LARGEST FIRST, and it is a SIZE ORDER rather than a league table: this measure has no better end, so position 1 names the country with the biggest figure and says nothing about how that country is doing. The change arrows stay grey for the same reason, and the indicator is still left out of the Country Index.
