04Caveats

Read before you use

What this edition’s numbers are and are not, worked out from the file itself.

The site’s method

One year of the 2025 release
Every year in this series comes from UNCTAD’s 2025 release, recalculated on one method. It can differ from what was first published for 2014.
192 distinct values among 195
Values are stored exactly as published, to 2 decimals. 2 countries share 47.23. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
The position is ours
UNCTAD publishes values only. The order here sorts the published values, and the page says so wherever it prints one.
Which end is better
A higher value is the better result.
192 empty cells
An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.
