What it does not measure
Adults only, borrowers only, citizens only, or households as units.
As published
1,463,865,525 persons (normalized ×1 to reach the exact value above)

Every resident at midyear 2025, children and people who never borrow included. Not adults only, not borrowers only, not citizens only, and not homes counted as units. The source's own population-definition exceptions apply.
