*Due to the high level of uncertainty in current global economic conditions, the April 2020 WEO database and statistical tables contain only these indicators: real GDP growth, consumer price index, current account balance, unemployment, per capita GDP growth, and fiscal balance. Projections for these indicators are provided only through 2021.

The Timorese authorities have revised the compilation methodology of GDP and, under the new classification, oil and gas revenue before September 2019, which was previously classified as export in national accounts, is now classified as primary income.

According to latest figures published by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the average annual inflation rate in China ranged at around 0.2 percent in 2024 compared to the previous year. This was lower than formerly expected by the IMF. For 2025, projections by the IMF published in October 2024 expected the inflation rate to reach around 1.7 percent. The monthly inflation rate in China dropped to negative values in the second half of 2023 and remained comparatively low in 2024. Calculation of inflation The inflation rate is calculated based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for China. The CPI is computed using a product basket that contains a predefined range of products and services on which the average consumer spends money throughout the year. Included are expenses for groceries, clothes, rent, power, telecommunications, recreational activities, and raw materials (e.g. gas, oil), as well as federal fees and taxes. The product basked is adjusted every five years to reflect changes in consumer preference and has been updated in 2020 for the last time. The inflation rate is then calculated using changes in the CPI. As the inflation of a country is seen as a key economic indicator, it is frequently used for international comparison. China's inflation in comparison Among the main industrialized and emerging economies worldwide, China displayed comparatively low inflation in 2023 and 2024. In previous years, China's inflation ranged marginally above the inflation rates of established industrialized powerhouses such as the United States or the European Union. However, this changed in 2021, as inflation rates in developed countries rose quickly, while prices in China only increased moderately. According to IMF estimates for 2024, Zimbabwe was expected to be the country with the highest inflation rate, with a consumer price increase of about 561 percent compared to 2023. In 2023, Turkmenistan had the lowest price increase worldwide with prices actually decreasing by about 1.7 percent.

Chang. 13, 804–806 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-023-01754-wConcepts:Trade risk: shows for the selected country the trade risk of country imports or exports at ports globally. This is derived by combining the country trade flows at the port-level with the annual expected downtime. For example, if a port handles US$ 1 billion of a country’s imports every year, and the expected annual downtime is 5.5 days per year, then the trade at-risk indicator is US$ 15 million per year (=1*5.5/365).Climate scenarios: The Climate Scenarios are available for present-day (roughly based on data for the last 30-40 years) and three RCP future scenarios for 2050.The RCPs provide trajectories of greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations for the 21st century, as adopted by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The RCPs – originally RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6, and RCP8.5 – are labelled after a possible range of GHG concentrations by 2100 (2.6, 4.5, 6, and 8.5 W/m2, respectively). PortWatch uses three RCP scenarios: RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. Based on the latest global climate models, these RCP scenarios result in a global mean temperature increase at the end of the century (2081-2100) compared to pre-industrial (1850-1900) of 1.8 (1.3 - 2.4) degrees (RCP2.6), 2.7 (2.1 - 3.5) degrees (RCP4.5) and 4.4 (3.3 - 5.7) degrees (RCP8.5). The higher RCP values mean higher GHG emissions and therefore higher global temperatures and more pronounced effects of climate change.The lower RCP values, on the other hand, are more desirable for humans but require more stringent climate change mitigation efforts to achieve them. The RCPs are not considered a forecast but a plausible range of GHG concentrations.

The statistic shows the inflation rate in the Netherlands from 1987 to 2023, with projections up until 2029. The inflation rate is calculated using the price increase of a defined product basket. This product basket contains products and services, on which the average consumer spends money throughout the year. They include expenses for groceries, clothes, rent, power, telecommunications, recreational activities and raw materials (e.g. gas, oil), as well as federal fees and taxes. In 2023, the average inflation rate in the Netherlands was about 4.12 percent compared to the previous year.

Economy of the Netherlands

The Netherlands has an open economy, which implies that the country is highly dependent on foreign activities, such as imports and exports. The country’s economic policies and regulations have allowed for the country to highly benefit from strong international relations, however have increased the chances of economic struggles that correspond with the economic situations in other countries as well. The Netherlands is one of the main countries for foreign direct investments in Europe due to its strategic location, superior technological infrastructure as well as international business environment, a reputation that has all but grown more formidable over the years. Additionally, the country’s tourism industry makes up a rather large part of its GDP.

Despite feeling the effects of the global financial crisis of 2008 as well as the Eurozone crisis, many aspects of the Dutch economy are highly prosperous, most notably with its low inflation rates. Unemployment within the country, in spite of a slight increase over the past several years, has remained relatively low in comparison many other European countries that were equally as affected by recession.
