How this figure is calculated
Total reserves in months of imports divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Total reserves in months of imports ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Total reserves in months of imports International Financial Statistics database, International Monetary Fund (IMF)
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
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.
