How to read these numbers
Every figure is for a whole year, and the latest year is usually last year: national statistics take months to collect, check and send to the World Bank. Small or poorer countries often report later, so a few values are a year or two older; the year is always shown next to the number.
Countries measure some things differently, even after the World Bank and other international bodies harmonise them. Treat small differences between countries with care and look at the trend over several years. The country pages show each country's history since 2000.
