Read before you use

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2026 release

    Every year in this series comes from World Bank Group’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 1973.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 141 countries has every column.
