Notes on reading this history

Yearly values come from the same World Bank indicator. The number of countries with data differs by year, so each year’s ranks are given only among the countries that have data that year. The ranking page uses each country’s latest year, so it may not match a single year’s ranking here.

Amounts are in US dollars of each year (not adjusted for inflation), so a ratio between an old amount and a new one is not a measure of real growth. Exchange-rate changes can also move an amount even when the economy has not changed.
