2023 figures are estimates, while 2024 and 2025 figures are forecasts; The source separates between LMI countries and high-income countries.
Supplementary notes
The focus of the report is on low-and middle-income countries. This means figures on "Europe and Central Asia", for example, do not necessarily cover the entirety of the region.
The World Bank, elsewhere, defines low- and middle-income countries as those with a GNI per capita of 13,845 U.S. dollars or less. The source does not provide an exact breakdown of which countries in this particular reporting fall under such a requirement.
