Irrelevant citation
I have removed the following citation because it is irrelevant: The page allows you to download an Excel spreadsheet called WEO_Data.xls that compares World and EU GDP from 2021 to 2028. It is labelled "International Monetary Fund, World Economic Outlook Database, October 2023". It says nothing about any individual country's economy. -- Toddy1 (talk) 12:57, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Your new URL is to the right page. -- Toddy1 (talk) 13:48, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

IMF data and dates
According to the IMF: Data refer to calendar years, except in the case of a few countries that use fiscal years. Please refer to Table F in the Statistical Appendix, which lists the economies with exceptional reporting periods for national accounts and government finance data for each country.

Bangladesh and India are some of those "few countries".
 * The Indian fiscal year is from April to March, so when it says 2024, it means April 2024 to March 2025 (I checked this - see Talk:Economy of India.)
 * The Bangladeshi fiscal year is from July to June, so when it says 2024, it presumably means July 2024 to June 2025.

See: [https://www.imf.org/-/media/Files/Publications/WEO/2023/October/English/text.ashx International Monetary Fund. 2023. World Economic Outlook: Navigating Global Divergences. Washington, DC. October, page 104, Table F.] (note that this is a pdf file, which your browser will seek to download)

So when people want to use the 2024 data from the IMF, they are wanting to use predictions for the fiscal year that starts in three months time. -- Toddy1 (talk) 21:27, 6 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Fiscal years normally end in the year mentioned (not sure if India is an exception). So at the least, we would need to say "2024 YTD", since we just reached the end of the third quarter of FY 2024. —C.Fred (talk) 22:19, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

10 April 2024 edit war over IMF data on GDP
There is an edit war over the figures for GDP in the infobox. The cited source says the following: 's corrected version Previous version (which is reverting to) Please note that FY2024-25 starts in July 2024, so these figures are an October 2023 prediction about data for a financial year that starts in three months time. It would be more reliable to use FY2023-24 figures (or even FY2022-23 figures). -- Toddy1 (talk) 06:46, 10 April 2024 (UTC) corrected 06:50 (UTC)

 * FY2024-25: GDP $510 billion,  GDP (PPP) $1.9 trillion
