How to read these figures

Series are annual unless the page says otherwise, and the year shown is the observation period, not the day the site fetched the number. Current-dollar series mix real growth with price and exchange-rate movement — use the growth series when you want real change. Values are revised by their producers; a figure here can differ from a newer release.
