What this site is
World Economic Data presents the World Bank’s World Development Indicators for 217 economies as country profiles, indicator pages, rankings and downloadable files. Every value shows its source, reference year and update date.
Where the data comes from
All figures come from the World Bank’s World Development Indicators (WDI). We reorganise and present them; we do not alter source values. Each indicator page links to the World Bank’s own definition.

What to keep in mind
Data are produced by national statistical offices and compiled by the World Bank. Countries report on different schedules, definitions differ, and values are sometimes estimated or later revised. This site is for information only and is not investment, legal or policy advice.
