How this figure is calculated

Manufacturing, value added (constant LCU) divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.

Manufacturing, value added (constant LCU) ÷ GDP (current US$)

Computed from

  • Manufacturing, value added Country official statistics, National Statistical Offices (NSOs)
  • GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks

Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
