04Caveats

Read before you use

How values are stored

One year of the 2025 release
Every year in this series comes from UNCTAD’s 2025 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.
186 distinct values among 190
Values are stored exactly as published, to 2 decimals. 2 countries share 68.66. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
185 empty cells
An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.
