Data presentation conventions A billion is 1,000 million. Growth rates are in real terms. Data availability, reliability, and comparability Considerable effort has been made to harmonize the data, but full comparability cannot be assured, and care must be taken in interpreting indicators. Many factors affect data availability, reliability, and comparability. Data coverage may be incomplete because of circumstances affecting the collection and reporting of data, such as conflicts. Although drawn from sources thought to be the most authoritative, data should be construed as indicating trends and characterizing differences across economies. Discrepancies in data presented in different editions of The Little Data Book on reflect updates from countries as well as revisions to historical series and changes in methodology. Readers are therefore advised not to compare data series between editions or across World Bank publications. The cutoff date for data is May The Little Data Book on 2011 vi

8 Users guide Classification of economies For operational and analytical purposes the World Bank s main criterion for classifying economies is gross national income (GNI) per capita. Every economy in The Little Data Book on is classified as low income, middle income, or high income. Low- and middle-income economies are sometimes referred to as developing economies. The use of the term is convenient; it is not intended to imply that all economies in the group are experiencing similar development or that other economies have reached a preferred or final stage of development. Classification by income does not necessarily reflect development status. Low-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $995 or less in Middle-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of more than $995 but less than $12,196. Lower middle-income and upper middleincome economies are separated at a GNI per capita of $3,945. High-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $12,196 or more.
