Gross capital formation includes acquisitions less disposals of produced assets for purposes of fixed capital formation, inventories or valuables.

Values use one fixed 2025 reference year from World Development Indicators series NE.GDI.TOTL.ZS. MapTheory excludes aggregates, missing/non-finite values, and geographies without an ISO 3166-1 numeric mapping; it does not interpolate missing countries.
