Source & statistical periods
World Bank WDI · release 2026-10-08 · NY.GDP.MKTP.CD. 1960–2025, 66 annual records. Figures use current prices and exchange rates, not PPP or GDP growth percentages. The table is rounded to two decimals; the API and CSV retain source precision.
China: January–December Y. India: April Y–March Y+1. WDI assigns India's fiscal year to the calendar year containing most of that period. This rule does not define the IMF growth series above.
Missing source status flags remain unknown; the amounts are not certified final actual values. WDI may revise historical estimates. Unavailable observations appear as —.
