Close.

Here's the map broken into its 3 parts, which might make visualization easier.

Top:


Middle:


Bottom:

 

[choxorn]

But something related to the economy?

Does it have anything to do with banks or debt?

 

[dido]

total market capitalization?

 

[nocho]

# banks according to credit rating, say those with a rating of at least A (or AA or AAA)?

 

[Mango Elephant]

Stock exchanges.

 

[W|M]

Total debt?

 

[emzie]

# banks according to credit rating, say those with a rating of at least A (or AA or AAA)?

You were a lot closer on your first guess.

Total debt?

total market capitalization?

Map tracks proper nouns, not concepts.

 

[LAnkou]

bank loss during the crisis?
bank dividend?
or is there three different things ?

Is it linked to GNP?

 

[emzie]

Is it linked to GNP?

It contributes towards it, yes.

As a clarification: nocho's first guess was partially correct.

 

[choxorn]

Amount banks contribute to GDP?

 

[emzie]

Amount banks contribute to GDP?

GDP isn't being tracked in the map, not directly. What the map is tracking, the things, also count towards GDP (and significantly) but focusing on that angle isn't going to get you the answer.

 

[say1988]

Something to do with the amount of money loaned?

 

[LAnkou]

is it link to housing? and home loan?

 

[Manfred Belheim]

Potato crops?

 

[emzie]

Does it have to do with banks?

# of banks with capitalization over x, or something?

When I say partially correct, I mean this is an incomplete answer.

 

[emzie]

Don't think I can give hints that wouldn't give it away, so I'm opening the floor.

Answer was Forbes' top 2000 companies. Country shading reflected how many top2k companies were headquartered in each.

 

[aukrest]

I don't have a map - but bump for anyone else who wants to go.
