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 World Bank Data360 (Global Findex, survey wave 2024), the Bank's own figures for adults aged 15 and over. Female and male shares are the Bank's own. The United Arab Emirates is not included because the Bank does not publish its 2024 figures.
