About
The dataset offers annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures for 120 countries, spanning from 1960 to 2020. It serves as a valuable resource for data visualisation and analysis of global economic trends. The data originates as a subset from World Bank national accounts data and OECD National Accounts data files. GDP is defined at purchaser's prices, representing the sum of gross value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes, less any subsidies not included in the value of the products. Figures are provided in current U.S. dollars, converted from domestic currencies using official exchange rates or alternative conversion factors. This dataset is crucial for understanding economic performance and shifts over more than six decades.
Columns
- Country Name: The name of the country.
- Country Code: A unique code identifying each country.
- 1960 through 2020: The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for each specific year, measured in current U.S. dollars.
