Every displayed value is labeled as live, latest available, sourced snapshot, or modeled. Stocks and flows are never added together.
Broad money, private credit, equity capitalization and GDP histories use World Bank indicators. Central-bank and banking reference scales are rounded cross-source estimates; consult IMF monetary statistics, BIS credit statistics and each monetary authority for current definitions.
World Bank broad money ↗ · IMF Data ↗ · BIS credit statistics ↗Federal Reserve balance-sheet, reserves and banking references derive from Federal Reserve statistical releases; fiscal receipts, outlays, debt and Treasury bill information derive from Treasury Fiscal Data and TreasuryDirect.
Federal Reserve data ↗ · Treasury Fiscal Data ↗ · Treasury auctions ↗The Treasury Bill Atlas links the issuing or auction authority for every represented country. Maturities are descriptive program conventions; current yields must be read from the linked official auction/statistics pages.
Country-by-country official links →The Creation page annual bars are directional site estimates informed by issuer stock scales and assumed yearly changes. They are not a harmonized official series. Use IMF central-bank monetary statistics, World Bank broad money, BIS credit data and national bill authorities to replace estimates for formal analysis.
IMF MFS central-bank data ↗ · World Bank broad money ↗ · BIS credit data ↗Copper, aluminum, iron ore, gold and general commodity reference histories use World Bank Commodity Price Data families. Mineral production, reserves and critical-mineral context use USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries.
World Bank commodities ↗ · USGS summaries ↗International price reference families come from the World Bank Pink Sheet; production, consumption, reserves and regional natural-gas context come from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
EIA international energy ↗ · World Bank price data ↗Electricity is represented as a broad generation-price/cost proxy because it is regional rather than one global commodity contract. IEA and EIA provide generation, demand, fuel and price context.
IEA data ↗ · EIA electricity data ↗Company and bank scale bands are orientation snapshots. Visual Capitalist rankings cited on this site use CompaniesMarketCap or S&P Global data; current financial decisions require official exchange quotes and issuer filings.
CompaniesMarketCap ↗ · Attributed Visual Capitalist datasets →The dedicated data lens independently renders selected factual datasets and links every original article. Visual Capitalist infographic artwork is not reproduced.
Largest banks ↗ · Largest companies ↗ · Wealth distribution ↗Exchange rates, trade totals, real interest rates, GDP growth, inflation, unemployment, government debt, current account, FDI, and trade openness. Annual observations refresh every six hours and retain their source year.
API documentation ↗S&P grades and the Trading Economics 0–100 composite for curated core economies. Snapshot checked September 2026; ratings are not refreshed through a paid API.
Country ratings ↗Above-ground stock: 222,600 tonnes, approximately US$29.0 trillion at end-Q2 2026. This is distinct from annual mining, trading volume, and official reserves.
Gold stock data ↗Global market capitalization and active-asset count refresh every five minutes. These are market values, not country ownership or transaction volume.
Global crypto endpoint ↗WTO statistics provide trade context; BIS statistics provide global FX-market context. Country cards use World Bank indicators for consistent comparisons.
WTO statistics ↗ · BIS FX statistics ↗Reference classifications and price context for energy, metals, minerals, fertilizers, and agriculture. Map corridors remain educational models.
Commodity Markets Outlook ↗Line direction, corridor amount, and thickness are rounded educational constructs—not live transfers, audited bilateral statistics, or investment advice.
