A snapshot of headline macro indicators — economic growth, inflation, and military spending as a share of the economy — for a set of conflict-affected economies, taken directly from the World Bank's key-free Indicators API. These are official, source-reported figures: annual, often lagged by a year or more, and with the latest available year differing by country and series. They are context, not a measure of any war's impact, and not real-time.
- Source: World Bank Indicators API (free, key-free); most-recent available value per series.
- GDP growth (annual %), inflation (annual %), military expenditure (% of GDP).
- Years differ by country and indicator; some values are several years old.
- Refresh on demand: npm run worldbank:macro (no key, no default-build network).
Indicators by country
Each cell shows the most-recent available value and its year. A missing cell means no recent value was available from the API for that series.

What this does not show
- It does not measure the economic impact of any war — these are general macro indicators with many drivers.
- It is not real-time: values are annual and often lagged, with years differing by country and series.
- It makes no forecast and offers no investment, fiscal or policy advice.
