World Bank income-group counts among countries that have at least one ranking row for an indicator in this topic. Segments sum to 216 - coverage shape, not a living-standard ranking.
Reading Economy
Economy is one of the wider shelves here (9 indicators). The extra cards are complementary dimensions, not duplicates - patterns that hold across several measures beat any lone top-five row.
Economy is a wide shelf: 9 indicators including Foreign Direct Investment, GDP (Current USD), GDP Growth Rate, GDP Per Capita (Current USD), and more, sourced from World Bank Open Data. GDP, income, trade, inflation, and economic output across the world. United States currently leads foreign direct investment at $297.1B.
Wide topics reward set-reading. A country that looks strong on one economy card can sit mid-pack on another; the preview tables only show the current top five - open the full ranking for the rest of the 216-country list.
Reporting cycles differ by agency (World Bank Open Data). When a country is absent from a card it is unpublished for that measure, not zeroed. Country profiles collect every economy indicator for one place in a single view.
