How this figure is calculated
24_International reserves (excluding gold) divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
24_International reserves (excluding gold) ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- 24_International reserves IMF
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
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.
