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.
Each figure is the current statutory rate we hold, cited to the official instrument on its country page.
