Chart and exact values

Nothing compared yet.Pick two economies and an indicator, then compare. The chart, the headline figures and the year-by-year table appear here — nothing is requested until you submit.

Series: The indicator and the years it covers
Latest: Newest observation for each economy
Change: Movement across the available years
Source: World Bank WDI, with the update date it returned

Compare like with like

The same indicator and year are shown side by side. A blank value means no observation was returned; it is not zero. GDP in current US dollars is affected by prices and exchange rates, so it is not a measure of living standards on its own.

Check the revision date

World Development Indicators are updated and historical values can be revised. The response update date appears with each comparison. Follow the dataset link for methods and original indicator sources.
