Data notes & caveats

Values are World Bank WDI observations in percent. A value that is already a percentage, ratio or per-person measure should be read as the source indicator value, not as a share of the listed entries.

Methodology

MarketStats ranks non-aggregate economy entries by the World Bank WDI NE.IMP.GNFS.ZS value for 2024 in descending order. The comparison uses one indicator, one annual period and one reported unit.

Source consistency notes

All ranked entries use the same World Bank WDI indicator, annual period and unit.
