Methods and sources

Live figures come from official central bank or statistics APIs, or from the BIS where the official API needs registration, and refresh every 30 minutes. Annual figures come from the World Bank World Development Indicators and the IMF World Economic Outlook public APIs, fetched on 2026-10-25. Tags: official means taken straight from the national source, via BIS, World Bank or IMF means a recognized aggregator, unverified means a third party we have not yet matched to the official source. Our own calculations are labeled as such. Blanks mean we could not fetch a value; we never fill them in.
