About the indicator

Gross domestic product in current prices, in billions of US dollars, from the IMF World Economic Outlook database. It differs from the World Bank series in the method of conversion into dollars and in that the most recent years are estimates while the next five are IMF projections. That makes the series convenient for planning, but part of the values are calculations rather than facts.

Important: Values for the current and following years are IMF estimates and projections; they are revised with every WEO release, in April and October.
