World Bank Group (2021)

Estimation of the World Bank Group for 2021.^[1][2][3] The data is filtered according to the list of countries in North America. The values in the World Bank Group tables are rounded. All calculations are based on raw data; so due to the nuances of rounding, in some places illusory inconsistencies of indicators arose, with a size of 0.01 year.
