Each point is a calendar year, dated December 31. The first three points are the years before the WEO's own year, as published in that WEO (estimates and outturns, flagged forecast = false), so the line joins the history. From the WEO's own year on, every point is an IMF forecast (flagged forecast = true). Every point carries the WEO edition it comes from (vintage). The whole path is replaced when a new WEO is published, in April and October. Palanor does not compute statistics or records on this series and does not project it further.

## What it does not say

Not adjusted for price levels; compare living standards with GDP per capita at purchasing-power parity.
