What types of statistics can you consult?
'WDI Online' (World Development Indicators) is the premiere data source on the global economy. It contains statistical data for over 600 development indicators and time series data from 1960-2004 for over 200 countries and 18 country groups. Data includes social, economic, financial, natural resources, and environmental indicators. Data selection screens are intuitive and easy to use. Results can be scaled, indexed against a particular year, viewed by percentage change, and charted. These features plus data export options in standard formats like Excel make WDI Online the most useful tool yet for researching developmental data.
For a visual demo, click on 'Guided Tour' on the right hand section below. This tour presents only the WDI database, GDF online use being exactly the same as WDI.
'GDF Online' (Global Development Finance) provides direct access to more than 200 debt and financial flows indicators for the 136 countries that report public and publicly-guaranteed debt to the World Bank Debtor Reporting System. These data run from 1970 to 2014, where available. |
