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?
