Disclaimer: This tool uses publicly available data for journalistic comparison purposes. Comparisons are simple period averages and do not account for global economic factors, base effects, or policy causality. Data sources are listed on each metric. Readers are encouraged to consult primary sources for any academic or policy analysis.

Methodology: Period averages are simple arithmetic means of annual data points for each period. UPA period = 2004–2013 (10 years). NDA period = 2014–2024 (11 years). Data sources vary by metric and are listed within each metric description. Global factors (COVID, Ukraine war, 2008 financial crisis) affect both periods and are noted in source footnotes. This tool does not make causal claims.
