**Notes / caveats:**
* The values above refer to “digitally-delivered services” or “digital exports”, which strongly overlap with ICT services (software, computer services, data, cloud, etc.).
* Some data sources aggregate somewhat broader categories than strictly “ICT services” (they may include computer services, information services, business services delivered digitally).
* Precise “ICT services export” values (narrow definition) may differ; many statistics break down “computer services”, “information services”, “telecommunications services”.
* The list is current as of data ~2023; the ranking and values will change over time.
