Note: The boxplots show the
distribution of GDP growth rates
among developing countries
between the first and third
quartiles, that is within the
middle 50 per cent of the data.
The wider a box, the more
divergent are the growth rates.
The horizontal line in the box
represents the median, the
symbol indicates the mean. The
shading indicates a confidence
interval at 95 percent for
the median.
