A share is not a pile of money
When a figure is a percent of GDP, it is a slice of the economy, not a dollar total. A smaller country can have a larger share.

How to read a number
Unavailable is not zero
We use the latest non-empty World Bank observation and keep its year visible. A compatible IMF estimate can fill only a documented gap and is labelled; otherwise the figure stays unavailable.
Annual, then one FX day
Country indicators are yearly and can lag. The exchange rates are a single ECB reference day, not a price streaming from a trading screen.
