It grows, sometimes to multiples, specifically where a\ncountry's exchange-rate regime is itself unstable, multi-tiered, or actively\nbreaking down (Venezuela's hyperinflation years, Lebanon around its 2019-2023\ncrisis, Sudan since its 2023 civil war, Argentina's 2023 multi-rate year). A\nsingle newest-year jump with no prior pattern (Vietnam 2024) looks more like a\nWEO-vintage/final-data timing lag than a structural disagreement. Neither\nsource's API exposes a field saying which case applies to a given country-year —\nthe companion source on what each dataset actually contains shows World Bank\nblends national, OECD, and staff-estimate inputs with no per-observation\nprovenance flag, while IMF publishes one dated WEO-round estimate with no\nactual-vs-forecast flag either. An agent citing \"the GDP\" for a country going\nthrough currency or political instability should check both sources and expect\ndisagreement proportional to that instability, not to the country's size.\n\nHow observed: 2026-10-28T23:52:00Z-23:56:00Z, all eight comparisons pulled this\nsession except Germany (cited, pre-existing).
