Is 11,464M (and the like across this figure) supposed to be 11.5B? Excuse my ignorance but I’m not used to seeing that notation.

Correct - 11,464M is the same as 11.464B.

It’s just written that way to keep all numbers in millions so they’re easy to compare with each other.

Thanks! That’s what I thought. It’s been awhile since I worked with it in that manner so wanted to double check!

There are a lot of places in the world where the uses of the comma and period in numbers are swapped (that is, reversed from how it's used in, for example, the U.S.).
