1 of these 28 countries carry no single figure for this instrument — the rate is risk-rated, set by the employer, or the instrument fixes no one number. Each says which, on its own page. We do not fill those with an average.
Every value on this page is also available as JSON, with its full citation, revision history and a signed certified extract — see the API.
