Index of Datasets

There is a variety of data in the Virtual Developing Country. You can access the data in three ways. You can either view it as a web page, download it in CSV format or download the data in Microsoft Excel format. If you want to process the data in some way (e.g. graphing it) then it would be easiest to download it in csv format and load it into a spreadsheet or download the Excel files. The main sources of the data are the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. All sources of data are given in the table below.
