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.
