The best we can say for that chart is that there is some relation (not necessarily casual) between GDP and mathematical education levels.
The causal factor could be anything - but it's a damn pretty curve. It at least suggests that measuring a country's gdp can give you a ballpark figure for it's mathematical education levels.
Might be a novel premise for funding to explore if math is a causal factor.
Could also be education - rising tide lifts all boats thing - rather than mathematics specifically.
