Good day!
I would like to request, if possible, information regarding the country's economy, specifically GDP figures, GDP per capita, national debt, expressed in currency and in terms of debt-to-GDP ratio (with external debt separately shown), inflation, and poverty incidence from 1965 to 2016.
There are a lot of misinformation and disinformation online, especially in social media sites regarding these data, and I've seen them being used as either justification for support or criticism towards political candidates running in the 2022 elections. Hence, I would like to acquire official data
