** Note: The M49 is a standard for area codes used by the United Nations for statistical purposes, developed and maintained by the United Nations Statistics Division. Based on the M49, economies are classified according to macro geographical regions and sub-regions, and selected economic and other groupings, see: http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49regin.htm. ​Of note is that the distinction between “Developed regions” and “Developing regions” was removed from the M49 Standard in December 2021.
