Explanation of symbols

Table explanation


This table shows basic figures on population and economic development for sixty countries. It concerns the following elementary indicators:
- Gross Domestic Product;
- Gross Domestic Product per capita;
- Exports of goods and services;
- Exports of high-tech goods;
- Incoming Foreign Direct Investments;
- Value added in services;
- Population size.

These indicators give an overall picture of the economic size and trade position of a country. The national economic development defines the basic climate within which companies develop their activities. A good economic development ensures a favourable investment climate in which enterprises can function well.

Note:
Comparable definitions are used to compare the figures presented internationally. The definitions sometimes differ from definitions used by Statistics Netherlands. The figures in this table could differ from Dutch figures presented elsewhere on the website of Statistics Netherlands.

Data available from 1990 - 2009.

Status of the figures:
All figures are final.

Changes as of April 2019:
This table has been discontinued.

When will new figures be published?
No longer applicable.

Description topics

Gross Domestic Product
Sum of the gross value added of all companies within a country plux taxes
minus subsidies.
These GDP values were converted to US dollars to make a comparison
between countries possible, and do not correspond directly to the GDP
figures in euros published by Statistics Netherlands elsewhere. The
fluctuations in the exchange rates between euro and dollar make these
figures unfit for providing a picture of Dutch GDP developments over the
years. These figures are, however, suitable for making comparisons between
several countries by year.
