Data & sources
World Bank Open Data ↗ — All macroeconomic, structural, education, and environmental indicators come from the World Bank's World Development Indicators — pulled from its public API, or for some of the more recently added countries from its bulk WDI release as mirrored by Gapminder's open-numbers project.
Twelve Data ↗ — Stock market index levels shown in the Markets section, where connected.
Trade Map (ITC) ↗ — The "What it trades" top-10 exported/imported product lists on each country page — HS-chapter-level trade values reported to the International Trade Centre, most recent year available.
Economic events— the news timeline is written and edited for this site; each article links to a real financial-press or institutional source (Yahoo Finance, CNBC, central banks, the IMF/World Bank, Britannica, and similar) at the bottom for further reading and verification.
Company logos & flags— top-5 companies per country are compiled from public knowledge; logos and flags are fetched live from Google’s favicon service, flagcdn.com, and (for a small number of companies) Wikimedia Commons, rather than stored on this site.
