IMF 2021 data

There are some weird data in this report. For example why Haiti's GDP is $1 943, more than Nicaragua and Venezuela? Haiti was ALWAYS not only poorest country in the Americas, but one of the poorest in the world. Why did Somalia appear out of nowhere in this year's report after not being included for many years? Cuba and North Korea are still not included. And why is Syria's data from 2010, while 2020 report included data from 2019? It was incorrect? Could someone explain this?

Some random editors always target states with limited diplomatic recognition over the list such as Taiwan, Palestine to be aligned with other dependent territories by using the same Italic font but they are totally different concepts. If the consensus have decided that the largely unrecognized states shall be treated it would make sense, but it is deliberately ambiguity to put Italic font upon all non-UN members which is only tending to confuse two sort of distinct subjects into one. Please let us know what the consensus is now reached for the listing format of classification along with clarification about what entities are now eligible to be ranked? The uneven use of Italic font or no ranks upon all non-UN members which have caused instability of the listing format and hard to read... I also put a similar request over here.

And my personal proposal is, ranking all the entities that have been included by the sources, sidestep the issue of sovereign status (as this is not a point decisive enough to be made in this type of non-political related lists), just dealing like how other similar lists have done...

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. Edit requests aren't a means to build consensus - you may want to look at WP:RFC. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 13:04, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Consensus on this was achieved at WT:Countries. It applies to all lists of countries, including this one. In summary, it states that:

GDP per capita of India and Bangladesh

The Indian Express says Bangladesh GDP per capita is $2227 and India GDP per capita is $1947. So Bangladesh GDP per capita is more than $280 from India. You can click the link- https://thefinancialexpress.com.bd/economy/bangladesh/bangladesh-surpasses-india-on-per-capita-income-1621610135 or https://indianexpress.com/article/business/economy/bangladesh-outpaces-india-on-per-capita-income/ to see the GDP per capita of Bangladesh and India. Thanks. User -- @Pullar56:

Bangladesh GDP per capita is $2227. You can see- https://www.thedailystar.net/backpage/news/income-capita-increases-2227-2094069 to see the GDP per capita of Bangladesh. Thanks. User -- @Pullar56:

@Pullar56: This list based on IMF data. So how can I change it with other source? See GDP per capita of India is $2,191 and GDP per capita Bangladesh is $2,122

Bangladesh GDP per capita

Bangladesh GDP per capita is $2,227. Pullar56 (talk) 04:19, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

@Pullar56: Provided source was a copy of old revision of this page. I recently updated. Please do not change during discussion. Dineshswamiin (talk) 07:24, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Irrelevant. The article is split into three sets of figures, and you can't change the "International Monetary Fund (2021 estimates)" unless the IMF publish a different estimate. FDW777 (talk) 07:30, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

I have something. Source one and source two. Thanks! Dineshswamiin (talk) 07:37, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

What is GDP

Whil.e the text explains the difference between nominal and PPP GDP, it does not say what GDP is, either by expanding it to Gross Domestic Product or by using other words something like 'the amount of money generated by the country's economy.' Kdammers (talk) 02:06, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Important message for editors, both old and new

This article contains three sets of figures.

International Monetary Fund (2021 estimates)
World Bank (2019)
United Nations (2019)

Those don't get changed just because there's some news article saying the GDP of for 2021 is going to be . FDW777 (talk) 15:52, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Taiwan no color?

Why is there no color on Taiwan on the map?--柳漫 (talk) 08:14, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Bc the map is based on IMF data, and the IMF (apparently) doesn't publish GDP data for Taiwan. — 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚 ☎ 02:50, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Israel should be 43rd between France and Japan as its GDP is 43,592.08 USD per 2019 per the World Bank which you could see with a simple google search 141.226.57.208 (talk) 19:52, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Not done Not what the source says. Regardless, I updated the whole WB columns to the latest estimates. Israel's is 2020 at 43,610.50 USD, putting it in 25th, between Belgium and Canada (when ranked by World Bank estimates only). — 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚 ☎ 02:10, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

I would suggest writing dependencies (dependent territories) in Italics as it used to be. Ranking dependencies under the same style as sovereign countries is misleading at least. 172.81.142.194 (talk) 22:20, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Not done

1. Any nomenclature, formatting, distinction in numbering, etc, must be sourced, or else constitute WP:OR. That's confirmed by WT:COUNTRIES:

2. This article is about countries. Nowhere does that imply sovereignty. Country refers to land; sovereignty is a quality of nations and states (which are peoples and political entities, respectively). A land is never sovereign; it may be owned by a sovereign nation or to a sovereign state, but it's not itself sovereign (which would imply that lands have agency). — Guarapiranga ☎ 15:26, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

There was already an agreement made NOT to give any implication for the sovereign status of certain political entities As the use of Italics fonts always caused countless edit wars in the past especially when it concerned with several states with limited recognition. The table is meant to display figures for every entries given by the original sources, which is not a political topic and thus it remains neutral stance in regard to this matter.

Amend the external link to IMF data?

For some reason, the external link to the IMF dataset is for the "nominal GDP" figures, and not to the more relevant for this article "nominal GDP per capita" figures. So perhaps, the IMF external link should be changed to IMF nominal GDP per capita.

IMF data needs to be refreshed (October 21 available)

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I would be very grateful if the IMF data could be updated to the October 2021 figures, as the IMF's Excel sheets make ranking rather painful (by not sorting countries by region, and by including whole regions together with countries). See: https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/datasets/WEO Thanks in advance! 193.138.94.10 (talk) 08:53, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

The proposal is to change the IMF column data, which is from the April 2021 IMF World Economic Outlook database, to the most recent data, which is from the October 2021 IMF World Economic Outlook database. This means updating the whole IMF table (or most of it) as per the IMF's updated data. 193.138.94.10 (talk) 09:06, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Please provide the wikitext for the updated table. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:05, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Just to be sure: by "not clear", you do not mean that you do not understand what needs to be changed but that the requestor should go ahead and type up the values manually, is that correct? 193.138.94.10 (talk) 14:31, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, you should write up the updated table so someone can copy and paste it in for you. Would probably be easier to get it done in your sandbox and post a link here. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:08, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Note: Closing the request for now, until the table is written. Reopen the request at that point. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:09, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Asterisk for dedicated articles

Seeing as how almost all links point to "Economy of X" or "Income of X", wouldn't it be better to put the asterisk where there is no dedicated link? It would make the list much cleaner, in my opinion. —Ynhockey 19:33, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Too many errors

Iran in the table wrong data 203.184.131.163 (talk) 04:33, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Taiwan as a territory

Mark Taiwan as a territory instead of a country. None of UN or IMF or any other major globally influential institute recognize Taiwan as a country. — Preceding unsigned comment added by David xmz (talk • contribs) 06:29, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Prior consensus has decided that Taiwan is to be referred to as a country.

The RfC (Request for comment) page on which this decision was made can be found here. Please establish the consensus on Talk page:Taiwan if you dispute the previous decision, otherwise any change to the application to refer to Taiwan as a state, island, province of China, or other definition would be reverted.
