Data notes & caveats
Each row is gross fixed capital formation as a percent of that economy's own GDP. Row percentages are intensity values and must not be added together as shares of one common total.
Methodology
Rows use World Bank gross fixed capital formation as a share of GDP values supplied in the research brief. Gap metrics subtract percentage values and multiples divide one percent-of-GDP value by another.
Source consistency notes
Rows use the World Bank WDI source family, same 2024 period and same percent-of-GDP unit, but some public extracts are rounded.
