The Country Outlook presents quantitative data from various private and public information sources. These sources include the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the United Nations, the OECD, the World Economic Forum, the International Labour Organization, the World Trade Organization, and Statista itself. Additionally, the Country Outlook features Statista exclusive data, including from the Digital Market Outlook and the Global Consumer Survey. The data sources are indicated in the diagram boxes or the information texts.

Forecasts are available if they have been made by the original source, such as the IMF. Forecasts of the Statista Digital and Consumer Market Outlook are also used.

Due to the complexity of macroeconomic indicators, no further forecasts are currently carried out.

Due to the partially inconsistent availability of data for individual countries within a region, it is not possible or useful to display key figures at this level.

The Statista data is based on comprehensive mathematical modeling, focusing on a bottom-up approach to derive market sizes and trends by having a deep understanding of the underlying processes and influencing factors. Analyzing the market structure and how monetary value is generated is the key to anticipate new trends and derive realistic estimates.

For more detailed information, please refer to the Digital Market Outlook methodology. For information on the forecasts of original sources, please refer to the Country Outlook methodology.

The timeliness of the data is determined by the available original data. As a large part of the data sources depends on the declarations of the individual national statistical authorities, there may be delays regarding the available data.

The availability of the presented data is closely related to the country data contained in the original data. As the selected original sources do not uniformly cover all countries for single indicators, there are differences in the statistics presented.

All monetary data is standardized to USD values to allow further calculation. For the conversion from USD to EUR, the average exchange rate of the last available full year is used. If applicable, fixed rates for the forecast period are assumed to avoid the influence of exchange rate deviations on the general market dynamics.

The source for the historical data is Statista, based on the IMF and other sources.

A country comparison is given in the "Global Comparison Box", if applicable. This box is not yet editable but shows the top five countries plus the currently selected country.
