More on how it is measured
- 4 divisions 05 to 43) as a share of GDP: the value of output less intermediate consumption.
- World Bank national accounts data, compiled from national statistical offices and central banks and from OECD national accounts files.
Current prices, so the share moves with relative prices as well as volumes. Countries that rebase their national accounts can shift it by several points. The latest year varies by country.
Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the countries are compared on one definition. 5 countries with data in other periods have no value for 2017 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
