Composition of country groupings

The term ?economies?, as used in this publication, refers to regions, countries and territories. In case of a change in the statistical coverage of a country, it is identified by adding an end year after the country name when the country name remains unchanged. The change in the statistical coverage may affect the assignment of the country to specific groupings. For this reason, it may also affect the aggregates depending on whether or not the concerned entities are included in the same country grouping.
