Getting started

Connect ToolRouter and open World Economy. These public-data requests do not need a separate World Bank key. An indicator code gives the most precise result.

Coverage and things to know
  • Statistics can be revised and often lag the current year. Compare the returned dates as well as the values.
  • Some country-year values are missing; missing does not mean zero.
  • ToolRouter’s indicator search currently checks only a small part of the catalog. Use an indicator code from the World Bank for a specific series.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I compare GDP between countries?
