The World Development Indicators (WDI)
The World Development Indicators (WDI) is a premier cross-country database compiled by the World Bank, offering a comprehensive collection of development data from a wide range of international sources. It provides a vast array of over 1,400 time-series indicators for more than 200 economies, covering crucial aspects of global development.
The indicators are organized into six key analytical areas: World View, People, Environment, Economy, States and Markets, and Global Links. As a vital resource for policymakers, researchers, and the public, the WDI serves as an essential tool for monitoring global trends, analyzing economic and social progress, and evaluating the effectiveness of development policies.
