Government revenue

Tier A· OfficialDescriptive

Government revenue (excluding grants) as a share of GDP. Descriptive — the size of the state is a policy choice, not a grade.

100 = largest government revenue (% GDP), 0 = lowest — descriptive, not better or worse

Mixed reference years (2007–2024). This metric uses each country's most recent available year, so countries are not all measured in the same year — cross-country comparison is weakened. Each row shows its own reference year.

How this score is built

General government revenue excluding grants, as a share of GDP — World Bank indicator GC.REV.XGRT.GD.ZS (IMF Government Finance Statistics). Descriptive: a larger or smaller state is a political choice, neither better nor worse, so it uses a neutral colour and is off the Compare radar. Normalized with min–max; the raw percentage is shown. Most recent year per country.
