Aggregates
Aggregate data are based on the World Banks regional classification for
Sub-Saharan Africa and North Africa, which may differ from common geo-
graphic usage. Former Spanish Sahara is not included in any aggregates.
Statistics
Country data are for 1990, 2000, and the most recent year available,
usually 201011, as economies were constituted in 2010. Regional dataare for the most recent year available, usually 2009. Data in italics are
for 200109. Consistent time-series data for 19602011 are available
onADI Online.
Symbols
.. means that data are not available or that aggregates cannot be calcu-
lated because of missing data in the years shown.
< is less than.
- is not applicable.
$ means current U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.
0 or 0.0 means zero or small enough that the number would round to zero
at the displayed number of decimal places.
Data presentation conventions
A billion is 1,000 million.
Growth rates are in real terms, unless otherwise specified.
Data consistency, reliability, and comparability
Considerable effort has been made to harmonize the data, but full com-
parability cannot be assured, and care must be taken in interpreting indi-
cators. 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 asindicating trends and characterizing differences across economies. Read-
ers are advised not to compare data series between editions or across
World Bank publications.

Classification of economies
For operational and analytical purposes the World Banks main criterion
for classifying economies is gross national income (GNI) per capita. Every
economy in The Little Data Book on Africa 2012/13 is classified as low
income, middle income, or high income. Low- and middle-income econo-
mies 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 economiesare those with a GNI per capita of $1,005 or less
in 2010.
Middle-income economiesare those with a GNI per capita of more than
$1,005 but less than $12,275. Lower middle-income and upper middle
income economies are separated at a GNI per capita of $3,976.
High-income economiesare those with a GNI per capita of $12,276 or
more.
The cutoff date for data for this publication is August 2012.
However, it must be noted that the database may have more recent data
by the time of this publication.
