Note 1. Table 1 projects GDP ("economic growth") for these geos:

• IUSA  = U.S.
• IEUZN = euro zone ("euro area")
• IJPN  = Japan
• ICHN  = China
• IEMOI = Oil-importing Emerging-Market Economies (EMEs) - Large emerging markets from Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa (such as India, Brazil, and South Africa), newly industrialized economies (such as South Korea), but excludes China.
• IROTW = Rest of the World - All other economies not included in the first five regions. Composed of oil-exporting emerging markets (such as Russia, Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia) and other advanced economies (such as Canada, the U.K., and Australia).
• IWRLD = World

Note 2. Table 3 currently runs from 2016Q3 to 2019Q4. The source explains that, over the projection horizon, 2017Q1 and 2017Q2 are the only periods with Q/Q changes, because only they have the necessary information about real GDP growth at the time of writing, hence, for longer horizons, Q4-over-Q4 percentage changes are presented.
