GDP — Nominal GDP in US dollars. Measures total economic output.

Debt/GDP — Government debt as % of GDP. Above 100% indicates debt exceeds annual output.

C/A — Current account balance (% of GDP). Negative = importing more than exporting.

Savings — Gross national savings rate. Higher savings provide a buffer against external shocks.

Budget — Government budget balance (% of GDP). Negative = fiscal deficit.

CPI — Consumer price inflation (year over year). Central banks typically target ~2%.

Annual data typically lags 1–2 years. Rows marked Forecast are IMF projections. One year changes may not reflect the underlying trend — compare across 3–5 years.
