Hdi is wrong

The somali hdi is 0,713. Here is the source:https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/Somalia/human_development Ramy Ahmed01 (talk) 17:46, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This source seems to contain an error, also citing an implausibly low HDI for South Africa compared to other countries in Africa. For South Africa, it cites a value of 0.385 for this year [1], which is dramatically lower than the value of 0.713 quoted in the 2021 UNDP report [2] and a similar value quoted for previous years. I have contacted the site's administrator about this error. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 19:21, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@LaundryPizza03: Please update the GPD and population figures based on 2023 IMF data. PPP: $32.08 billion / $2000 and Nominal: $11.52 billion / $717.41. Population: 16.05 million people.

Semi-protected edit request on 18 October 2023

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Somalia. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Please add the increase symbol next to the GDP figures and update the population figure to 16.05 million based on the 2023 IMF report[3] 109.38.147.87 (talk) 09:46, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
