About This Statistic

OECD Financing SMEs and Entrepreneurs: An OECD Scoreboard measure 'Payment delays, B2B'. The map uses the exact official 2021 slice in Days; fixed dimensions: SEX_OWN=_Z (Not applicable); ENTR_SIZE=T (Total); TRANSACTION_TYPE=_Z (Not applicable); PRICES=_Z (Not applicable).

MapTheory uses only finite ISO-mapped observations from the fixed 2021 OECD slice recorded below. Aggregates, missing values, non-ISO geographies, conflicting duplicate observations, and every other year or dimension slice are excluded; MapTheory never imputes or interpolates missing countries.
