% gross · World Bank World Development Indicators, SE.TER.ENRR

Countries with any figure: 203

Compare on: 2020 133 countries

Stop before 2020: 48 countries

Statistical offices report at different speeds, so the newest year usually has fewer countries than the years before it. A country's "latest" figure elsewhere on this site can therefore be from different years for different countries; rankings only compare countries with a figure for the same year.
