4 PREFACE This 25 th Edition of the Statistical Monograph, Key Socio-Economic Statistics on IDB Member Countries, presents social, economic, and financial data on IDB member countries. The Monograph primarily provides data and aggregate statistics on socio-economic indicators of IDB member countries with the view to assisting IDB in monitoring developments in its member countries. Recent international initiatives such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) -- which call for setting targets and benchmarks, and the development of statistical indicators for measuring progress and results, for evaluating success and failures, and for evaluating policies and responses have made the Monograph an important source for data that could be used to monitor progress and performance of member countries in achieving the targets set in the MDGs. The Monograph contains a set of 200 indicators which are grouped under three main headings: Demographic and Human Development Indicators (Part 1), Macro-economic Indicators (Part II) and External Sector Economic Indicators (Part III). Part 1 provides indicators on demography, population structure, vital statistic, health, education, poverty and human development, information and communication technology, employment, wage, productivity and competitiveness, environment, land use, food and agricultural production, which are used to assess progress in social and human development. Part II provides information on national accounts, government finance, inflation, money supply, and exchange rates and interest rate. National accounts data provide essential information on the economic performance in terms of growth and structure of output, investments, and savings. Part III provides indicators on external trade, balance of payments, external debt and financial flows. Each part presents highlights of major trends and analysis of the indicators covered. In addition, the Tables show the performances of IDB and OIC economies for various years, together with, for comparative purposes, those of developing countries, least developed countries, high-income countries, and the world. The data presented in the Monograph are sourced from the IDB Live Database (which was set up by the World Bank in December 2002) and from online databases, publications and CD ROMs of several international institutions including the IMF, UNCTAD, FAO, UNDP, WRI, and OECD. We would like to register our thanks and appreciation to all these institutions for their cooperation and continuous exchange of data with IDB. In particular, the IDB is especially grateful to the Data Group of the World Bank for their continuous support in updating data for and troubleshooting the IDB Live Database. This Monograph was prepared in the Statistics Section of the Economic Policy and Strategic Planning (EPSP) Department of the Islamic Development Bank by a team of Statisticians led by Dr. Abdullateef Bello. The team members comprised Aamir Ghani, Abdinasir Nur, Azam Ali and Brahim Lgui. ECONOMIC POLICY AND STRATEGIC PLANNING DEPARTMENT iii

14 PART I DEMOGRAPHIC AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS

16 1. DEMOGRAPHIC AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS 1.1 Population The 55 IDB member countries have a combined population that represents about twenty per cent of the world s population in In the last 25 years, the member countries population has almost doubled in size to 1.2 billion in 2004 from 0.7 billion in Three member countries (Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Pakistan) have a combined population of 0.5 billion which represents fifty per cent of the total population of IDB member countries in 2004; while seven member countries (Bahrain, Brunei, Comoros, Djibouti, Maldives, Qatar, and Suriname) have population of less than one million each. The average annual population growth rate for member countries has decreased from 2.3 per cent over the period to 1.9 per cent in More than two-thirds (about 70 per cent) of member countries have average annual population growth rates that are higher than the average for the member countries in However, from the period to , more than three-quarters of member countries recorded a decline in population growth rate ranging from -0.1 per cent in Guinea-Bissau to -2.8 per cent in Djibouti; while one-fifth of member countries has registered increase in population growth with Kuwait recording the highest rate of 3.7 per cent. Assuming the determinants of population growth of member countries in would remain constant in the future, it is expected that the population of IDB member countries as a group would double in 37 years. The population of IDB member countries is composed of 51 percent males and 49 per cent females in Over 50 per cent of member countries have more males than females and the gap in gender structure is more pronounced in three countries (Kuwait with 22 per cent excess males; Palestine 28 per cent, and Uganda 30 per cent) whilst Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, and Mozambique have proportion of females exceeding the males by at least two percentage points. About 61 per cent of the IDB member countries population are in the working age group (15-64 years) in 2004 with the youths (aged 0-14 years) constituting 36 per cent, and the old age group (65+ years) representing the remaining 4 per cent. Youth population is burgeoning: More than half of member countries have more youths than the average for the IDB member countries. By contrast, about two-fifths of member countries have working age group that exceeded the average for member countries while only one-thirds of member countries have excess of average old age group for member countries. The total dependency burden on people who are of working and productive age in member countries varies according to age structure. Every 100 persons of the working age group in the IDB member countries are responsible for the support of between 36 persons (in Kuwait) and 108 persons (in Uganda) in Vital Statistics and Mortality Surface areas covered by various member countries, which are spread over four major continents, are uneven. Population density in IDB member countries as a group has increased from 35 persons per square kilometers in 1990 to 40 persons per square kilometers in This trend is not congruent with developing countries and the world where population density has inched down, respectively, from 57 in 1990 to 53 persons per square kilometers in 2003 and from 49 in 1990 to 48 persons per square kilometers in About two-thirds of member countries have population density that are higher than the average for the member countries. Individual country reveals wide population density disparity ranging from 3 persons per square kilometers in Libya, Mauritania, and Suriname to about 1,000 persons per square kilometers in Bahrain, Bangladesh, and Maldives. 3

17 The average crude birth rate for member countries has inched down to 27 per 1,000 persons in 2003 from 34 per 1,000 persons in The average crude death rate for member countries has also dropped from 11 per 1,000 persons in 1990 to 10 per 1,000 persons in Accordingly, the natural growth rate of population ---the difference between the crude birth rate and crude death rate--- has decreased from 23 per 1,000 persons in 1990 to 17 per 1,000 persons in Total fertility rate for IDB member countries as a whole has decreased marginally from 5 births per woman in 1990 to 3 births per woman in 2003; these figures are relatively and slightly more than the averages for developing countries' and world's at 3 birth per woman in Indeed, the average birth per woman for member countries is twice as high as those experienced in high income countries at 2 births per woman. Nearly half of member countries have births per woman that exceeded the average for the member countries. For every 1,000 live births in IDB member countries in 1990, about 114 died before reaching the age of 5. By 2003, the average mortality rate of under-5 for member countries has dropped significantly to 76 per 1,000 live births. In contrast, the average infant mortality rate for member countries which was 79 per 1,000 live births in 1990 has also dropped to 54 per 1,000 live births in Education Universal primary education for the world's population is embedded in the Millennium development goals which call for reduction in illiteracy rate at country level. The adult illiteracy rate for member countries has declined from 43 per cent in 1990 to 32 per cent in At individual country level, illiteracy rate varies from 1 per cent in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan to 83 per cent in Niger in However, in terms of enrollment in primary and secondary schools, the average ratios for the member countries have almost remain unchanged at around 90 per cent and 40 per cent respectively since At the country level, 10 member countries witnessed a decline in both gross primary school enrolment ratio and gross secondary school enrolment ratio since Health A child born in 2003 in IDB member countries is expected to have an average life span of 63 years whereas he or she would have had an average life expectancy of 60 years in Thus over 12 years, the average life expectancy for member countries has increased by 3 years; this trend contrasted sharply with those observed in the developing countries and the World which, respectively, have life expectancy at 65 years and 67 years in At country level, the life expectancy range from 37 years in Sierra-Leone to 77 years in Brunei and Kuwait. The percentage of population in member countries with access to safe water, sanitation, and drugs has increased generally in most of the years for which data are available. During 2003, the population with access to improved safe water in member countries ranges from 13 per cent in Afghanistan to 100 per cent in Lebanon and Qatar whilst the population with access to sanitation also ranges from 12 per cent in Afghanistan to 100 per cent in Kyrgyz Republic and Saudi Arabia. For every 1,000 persons in member countries, there are 0.7 physicians in Individual country has physicians that vary from 0.1 to 3.5 physicians per 1,000 people in Azerbaijan. During 2002, the IDB member countries as a group expended 4.6 per cent of their total output (GDP) in health as compared to 3.7 per cent in The figure for 2002 is unfortunately not at par with the share for the world at 10 per cent, high-income countries at 11 per cent, and 4

18 developing countries at 5.9 per cent. The individual member country's share of health expenditure in 2002 varies from 1.5 per cent of GDP in Iraq to 11.5 per cent of the GDP in Lebanon. The shares of the public and private expenditures on health in IDB member countries are respectively 2.5 and 2.2 per cent of the GDP in 2002 as compared to the world's at 5.8 per cent and 4.2 per cent of GDP respectively. The average per capita health expenditure for the IDB member countries has dropped from US$71 in 1990 to US$56 in 2002 while the figures for other economic groupings recorded an upward trend (developing countries from US$43 in 1990 to US$75 in 2002; high-income countries from US$1,742 in 1990 to US$3,039 in 2002; and the world from US$359 in 1990 to US$524 in 2002). 1.5 Poverty and Human Development The population of IDB member countries who are below the national poverty line ranges from 7.6 per cent in Tunisia to 69 per cent in Mozambique. At the international level, the proportion of population below $1 a day in IDB member countries ranges from less than 2 per cent (Albania, Algeria, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey) to 72.8 per cent (Mali). In contrast, the proportion of population below $2 a day in member countries ranges from 6.6 per cent (Tunisia) to 96.6 per cent (Uganda). Similarly, the proportion of people who are left out of progress (i.e. deprived) in member countries, measured by human poverty index, ranges from 7.2 per cent (Jordan) to 65.5 per cent (Burkina Faso) in However, in terms of human development index (HDI) of 2002, 5 IDB member countries (Brunei with rank 33, Bahrain with rank 40, Kuwait with rank 44, Qatar with rank 47, and UAE with rank 49) are in high human development category, while 28 countries are in medium human development category (with ranks ranging from 58 to 141), and 18 countries are classified into low medium development category with ranks ranging from 142 to 177. The countries at the bottom of HDI ranking are all from IDB member countries (Mali at rank 174, Burkina Faso at rank 175, Niger at rank 176, and Sierra Leone at rank 177). 1.6 Information and Communication technology Information and communication technology (ICT) is an engine for economic growth. The reason for this is not far-fetched: ICT creates jobs and enables country to leapfrog development as well as attracts investments. The IDB member countries as a group has an average of 41 daily newspapers, 211 radios, and 165 television per 1,000 people in Compared to the world's average of 183 telephone mainlines per 1,000 people, the member countries have 73 telephone mainlines per 1,000 people in IDB member countries as a group has an average of 27 personal computers (PCs) per 1,000 people in 2002 as compared to the world's average of 101 PCs per 1,000 people. In terms of internet users, there are 44 internet users per 1,000 people in 2002 as compared to 75 per 1,000 people in developing countries. These figures, although impressive, show that most member countries are still lagging behind in adopting and diffusing ICT for development. 1.7 Employment indicators Science and technology are the driving force for innovation and creativity. In this age of technology, a country's ability to meet its technology needs depend on strengthening indigenous technology and producing more human capital in R&D. Between 1990 and 2002, the number of scientists and engineers in R&D in the individual member country has ranged from 2 per million people (Senegal) to 1,977 per million people (Azerbaijan). In 2003, IDB member countries' high technology exports range from US$ 1 million (Bahrain, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, Suriname, and Uganda) to US$47,042 million (Malaysia). In contrast, the 5

19 patent applications filed by people resident in member countries vary from 2 (Kazakhstan and Sudan) to 717 (Uzbekistan) in Employment indicators The average labour force for member countries as per cent of the working age group has remained unchanged at 73 per cent since Between 1990 and 2002, the annual average growth rate of the labour force range from -0.8 in Bangladesh to 1.1 per cent in Algeria. During the period , the percentage of labour force in agriculture varies from 6 per cent in Morocco and Suriname to 62 per cent in Bangladesh. Similarly, the percentage of labour force in industry varies from 10 percent (Bangladesh) to 33 per cent (Morocco and U.A.E). Also the percentage of labour force in services sector varies from 24 per cent in Bangladesh to 59 per cent in Morocco. 1.9 Wage, Productivity, and Competitiveness The average hours worked per week in member countries range from 43 (Indonesia) to 52 (Bangladesh) during the period and the minimum wage during the same period range from US$65 per year (Kyrgyz) to US$ 8,244 per year (Kuwait). Productivity, proxied by labor cost per worker or value added per worker in manufacturing, has generally inched up in I member countries between the periods and except in few countries where productivity (i.e. labor cost per worker) has declined: Algeria (from US$ 6242 in to US$2638 in ), Egypt (from US$2210 in to US$1863 in ), Jordan (from US$4643 in to US$2082 in ), Kyrgyz (from US$2287 in to US$687 in ) and Yemen (from US$4492 in to US$1291 in ). In terms of competitiveness, only four IDB member countries have data out of the 60 countries reported in the World Competitiveness Yearbook Of the four member countries, Malaysia and Indonesia have slipped from rank 16 and 58 in 2004 to rank 28 and 59 respectively in 2005, while Jordan and Turkey have improved their competitiveness performance from 48 and 55 in 2004 to 44 and 48 in Land Use and Environment The share of arable land of member countries as a group in total land area has increased marginally by about 0.6 percent point from 7.1 per cent in 1990 to 7.7 per cent in The permanent crop land of member countries, however, has remained at 1.4 per cent of the total land area since 1990s. Non-agricultural land (i.e. others) of member countries has accounted for the lion's share of the total land area at around 90 per cent since 1990s. The forest area of member countries occupies 13 per cent of the total land area in 2000, which is considerably less than the corresponding figures for the low-income countries at 27 per cent, the developing countries at 31 per cent and the world s at 30 per cent. The total forest area of member countries covers 4,039 thousand square km in 2000, which represents 13 per cent of the forest area of the developing countries and 11 per cent of the world's forest area. Average annual deforestation for member countries has been 0.9 per cent over the period Carbon dioxide emissions per capita for member countries as a group is at 1.9 metric tons in 1990 and down to 2.1 metric tons in

20 1.11 Food and Agricultural Production The rice production of member countries as a group represents 19 per cent of world's total rice production. Wheat accounts for 16 per cent of the world's wheat production, while maize constitutes about 5 per cent of the world's maize production. Agricultural and food production indices have generally shown an upward trend. In particular, agricultural production indices for IDB member countries as a group have increased from 72.1 in 1990 to 107 in 2004; and the food production indices have also increased similarly from 71.6 in 1990 to 107 in However, the par capita agricultural and food production indices have shown downward trend during

40 PART II MACRO-ECONOMIC INDICATORS

41

42 2. MACROECONOMIC INDICATORS 2.1 Growth of Output Total real output for the member countries as a group has increased from 0.9 trillion in 1990 to over 1.4 trillion in 2004, which is about 4 per cent of the World's and 20 per cent of developing countries' output. Turkey has the largest economy among the member countries and its real GDP has exceeded the combined output of the Least Developed Countries since Two-thirds of the real output for the member countries as a group are accounted by five countries (Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, and Turkey). Annual real GDP growth for IDB member countries as group has shown cyclical trend peaking at 13 per cent in 1990, decreasing to 5 per cent in the mid-1990s and 2000 and to 1.4 in 2001 before picking up to 5.4 per cent in The average annual real output growth for member countries varies widely from one decade to another: recording 5.1 per cent growth during period and edging down to 1.5 per cent in During , the real GDP growth rate for member countries was sufficient to compensate for the population growth of 2.5 per cent but the growth achieved in could hardly offset the corresponding average population growth of 1.9. In , four countries (Albania, Cameroon, Sierra-Leone, and Tajikistan) recorded negative real output growth but turned around their economies in subsequent decade by recording positive average annual growth rate of up to five per cent. Guinea-Bissau is the only country that reversed its positive annual real output growth of about 4 per cent in to a negative annual growth of 2 per cent. During , three-quarters of member countries had average annual real output growth that exceeded the average growth for the member countries. 2.2 Per Capita Income Standard of living, proxied by output per capita, in member countries as a group is below the average level achieved in developing countries. In the 1990s, the average per capita GDP for member countries was less than US$1,000, crossing this level only in recent years to reach US$1,151 in The per capita GDP for individual member country ranges from US$134 in Guinea-Bissau to US$4,218 in Malaysia. Only 11 member countries (Albania, Algeria, Egypt, Gabon, Iran, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, Malaysia, Tunisia, and Turkey) have per capita GDP exceeding the average for the developing countries in Structure of Output The average share of agriculture in the member countries' GDP has decreased from 16.5 per cent in 1990 to 13 per cent in Individual country shares vary from 2 per cent in Jordan to 71 per cent in Guinea-Bissau in Industry sector has registered an increase in its share of GDP from 34 per cent in 1990 to 36 per cent in At the IDB country level, the share of industry in GDP in 2004 varies from 8.6 per cent in Chad to 74 per cent in Algeria. 29

43 Manufacturing, as a share of GDP, has inched up from 14 per cent in 1990 to 15 per cent in Individual country shares range from 4 per cent in Guinea to 25 per cent in Syria in Services sector has also increased from 43 per cent of GDP in 1990 to 46 per cent of GDP in Services sector in fourteen member countries accounts for more half of their GDP in Individual country shares in services sector vary from 14 per cent of GDP in Algeria to 73 per cent in Jordan in Sectoral Growth Rates Almost all member countries have recorded positive average annual growth in agriculture sector over the decade, Nineteen member countries have achieved industrial growth rate of more than 3 per cent during period, while one country (Cote d'ivoire) has experienced contraction in industrial output during the same period. Thirteen member countries have recorded manufacturing growth rates in excess of 3 per cent while 2 countries have also experienced a downward manufacturing output during the period. Out of 22 countries for which data are available on services sector for two decades ( , and ), 17 countries have recovered from low growth rates, while the remaining 5 countries witnessed regression in services output. 2.5 Structure of demand The share of household final consumption (i.e. private consumption) in the GDP for member countries as a group has decreased from 58 per cent in 1990 to 56 per cent in 2000 while the share of the general government consumption has dropped from 15 per cent in 1990 to 14 per cent of GDP in The gross domestic savings rate has inched up from to 22 per cent of GDP in 1990 to 24 per cent of GDP in Similarly the gross national savings rate has also increased from 21 per cent of GDP in 1990 to 23 per cent of GDP in The share of gross capital formation in GDP has dropped marginally from 20 per cent in the 1990 to 18 per cent in The share of exports of goods and services has increased from 28 per cent of GDP in 1990 to 36 per cent of GDP in 2000, while the share of imports of goods and services in GDP has also increased to 31 per cent in 2000 from 29 per cent in Government Finance Budget deficit is a ubiquitous phenomenon among member countries since 1990s. The magnitude of the deficit varies from one country to another and from one region to another. In some countries, both revenue and expenditure as per cent of the GDP have decreased during the period , while in others, expenditure continuously outpaced revenue, giving rise to persistent fiscal deficits. 30

44 2.7 Inflation, Money Supply and Exchange rate The inflation rate for all items in the IDB member countries as a group, measured by consumer price index and expressed as a percentage change, has decreased to an average of 2.8 per cent in 2002 from 4.1 per cent in Over the period , the individual country inflation rate varies from -0.1 per cent in Saudi Arabia to 70 per cent in Turkey. Changes in broad money supply (M2) in member countries have generally fluctuated without any obvious trend to describe the pattern. With exception of six countries (Benin, Chad, Comoros, Code d Ivoire, Gabon and Niger) all other countries recorded expansion in broad money supply in During the period , the average annual change in money supply varies from 1 percent in Niger to 267 percent in Turkmenistan. IDB member countries have different exchange rate arrangements which can be classified as follows: 6 countries have independent floating arrangement (IF), 17 with managed floating (MF), 12 with pegged arrangement (P), and 11 with their currencies pegged to Euro (or several exchange arrangements). In terms of exchange rate structures, 5 countries have dual exchange rate (D), 41 with unitary exchange rate (U), and 1 with multiple exchange rate (M). 31

62 3. EXTERNAL SECTOR ECONOMIC INDICATORS 3.1 Balance of Payments and International Reserves The current account for member countries as a group has recorded surplus of US$56.7 billion in 2003 as compared to US$46.7 billion in 2000 reversing the deficit of US$3.7 billion recorded in At country level, 18 member countries recorded current account deficits while 16 countries have achieved current account surpluses in The net income for the member countries as a group has continued to record negative values, widening from a negative US$2.8 billion in 1990 to a negative $26 billion in Conversely, the net current transfer steadily increased from US$7.4 billion in 1990 to US$7.9 billion in The gross international reserves (including gold) for member countries as a group have reached US$297 billion in 2003 from a low value of US$62 billion in In 2003, 21 countries had more than US$1 billion each in reserves while at individual country level the reserves range from US$67 million in Sierra-Leone to US$45 billion in Malaysia. The reserves in months of imports for member countries as a group have shown an upward trend at 4 months in 1990 compared to 9 months in Only 29 countries, out of the number of countries with available data, have reserves that could cover more than 4 months of imports in Individual country has reserves in months of imports that range from 2 months in Gabon to 36 months in Libya in External Trade The average annual merchandise exports and imports growth rates for member countries respectively vary markedly during two decades ( and ). In monetary terms, exports generally surpassed imports on a year-on-year comparison, making the IDB member countries a group of net exporters.

97 TECHNICAL NOTE 81

98

99 Technical Note The purpose of this technical note, following the lead of the World Bank's World Development Indicators (WDI), is to state some of the statistical estimation procedures used in the Statistical Monograph. In calculating statistical aggregates, the following rules were used: Aggregate data for IDB are either totals or weighted averages. No aggregate values are calculated if missing data account for more than a third of the number of observations in a given year. Aggregates of ratios are calculated as weighted averages of the ratios using the value of the denominator as weight. Most often the average indicated for IDB is weighted according to the relative share of the countries in the group total for that indicator. Aggregate growth rates are calculated using exponential trend function. The resulting growth rates reflect trends that are not unduly influenced by exceptional values. Except where specifically noted growth rates of values are computed from constant price series. Aggregates for income groups (such as LDCs, High Income Countries, Developed countries, and the World) are taken directly from the source of data, except for OIC countries which were computed by IDB staff. 83

101 GLOSSARY 85

102 GLOSSARY Adult illiteracy rate is the percentage of people ages 15 and above who cannot, with understanding, read and write a short, simple statement on their everyday life. Agricultural raw materials exports or imports comprise crude materials except fuels excluding crude fertilizers and minerals excluding coal, petroleum, and precious stones, and metalliferous ores and scrap. Carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes are those stemming from the burning of fossil fuels and the manufacture of cement. They include contributions to the carbon dioxide produced during consumption of solid, liquid, and gas fuels and gas flaring. Consumer price index (CPI) shows changes (inflation) in the cost of acquisition of a basket of goods and services purchased by the average consumer. Crude birth rate indicates the number of live births occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear. Crude death rate indicates the number of deaths occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear. Current account balance (in the balance of payments table) is the sum of net exports of goods, services, net income, and net current transfers. Daily newspapers: refer to those published at least four times a week, per 1,000 people. Domestic credit provided by the banking sector: includes all credit to various sectors on a gross basis, with the exception of credit to the central government, which is net. The banking sector includes monetary authorities and deposit money banks, as well as other banking institutions where data are available (including institutions that do not accept transferable deposits but do incur such liabilities as time and savings deposits). Examples of other banking institutions are savings and mortgage loan institutions and building and loan associations. Equity: A mode of financing used by the IDB to participate in the share capital of enterprises on a long-term basis. Export Financing Scheme (EFS, formerly called Longer-Term Trade Financing Scheme): A trade financing scheme used by IDB to export goods from one OIC country to another. The Scheme was initiated by the OIC Standing Committee on Scientific and Technological Cooperation (COMCEC) and launched by IDB in 1408(1987) as a special fund to promote export trade of OIC member countries participating in the Scheme. Exports (or imports) of goods and services represent the value of all goods and other market services provided to the rest of the world. They include the value of merchandise, freight, insurance, transport, travel, royalties, license fees, and other services, such as communication, construction, financial, information, business, personal, and government services. They exclude labor and property income (formerly called factor services) as well as transfer payments. Food exports or imports comprise food and live animals, beverages and tobacco, and animal and vegetable oils and fats, and oil seeds, oil nuts, and oil kernels. 87

103 Food production index covers food crops that are considered edible and that contain nutrients. Coffee and tea are excluded because, although edible, they have no nutritive value. Foreign direct investment is net inflows of investment to acquire a lasting management interest (10 percent or more of voting stock) in an enterprise operating in an economy other than that of the investor. It is the sum of equity capital, reinvestment of earnings, other longterm capital, and short-term capital as shown in the balance of payments. Fuels exports or imports comprise mineral fuels. GDP is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies not included in the value of the products. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources. The GDP implicit deflator: is the ratio of GDP in current local currency to GDP in constant local currency. The base year varies by country. General government final consumption expenditure (general government consumption) includes all government current expenditures for purchases of goods and services (including compensation of employees). It also includes most expenditures on national defense and security, but excludes government military expenditures that are part of government capital formation. GNP (GNI) is the sum of value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output plus net receipts of primary income (compensation of employees and property income) from abroad. Gross capital formation (gross domestic investment) consists of outlays on additions to the fixed assets of the economy plus net changes in the level of inventories. Fixed assets include land improvements (fences, ditches, drains, and so on); plant, machinery, and equipment purchases; and the construction of roads, railways, and the like, including schools, offices, hospitals, private residential dwellings, and commercial and industrial buildings. Inventories are stocks of goods held by firms to meet temporary or unexpected fluctuations in production or sales, and work in progress. Gross domestic savings are calculated as GDP less final consumption expenditure (total consumption). Gross national savings including net current a transfer is equal to gross domestic savings plus net income and net current transfers from abroad. Gross Primary School enrollment ratio is the ratio of total enrollment, regardless of age, to the population of the age group that officially corresponds to the level of education. Primary education provides children with basic reading, writing, and mathematics skills along with an elementary understanding of such subjects as history, geography, natural science, social science, art, and music. Gross Secondary School enrollment ratio is the ratio of total enrollment, of pupils regardless of age, to the population of the age group that officially corresponds to the level of education. Secondary education completes the provision of basic education that began at the primary level, and aims at laying the foundations for lifelong learning and human development, by offering more subject- or skill-oriented instruction using more specialized teachers. 88

104 High-technology exports: are products with high R&D intensity. They include hightechnology products such as in aerospace, computers, pharmaceuticals, scientific instruments, and electrical machinery. Data are in current U.S. dollars. Hospital beds include inpatient beds available in public, private, general, and specialized hospitals and rehabilitation centers. In most cases, beds for both acute and chronic care are included. Household final consumption expenditure (private consumption) is the market value of all goods and services, including durable products (such as cars, washing machines, and home computers), purchased by households. It excludes purchases of dwellings but includes imputed rent for owner-occupied dwellings. It also includes payments and fees to governments to obtain permits and licenses. Here, household consumption expenditure includes the expenditures of nonprofit institutions serving households, even when reported separately by the country. IDB Unit Investment Fund: A trust fund managed by IDB and established in 1409H (1989). It is a resource mobilization vehicle that allows IDB to sell completed operations and projects to the UIF which in turn, sells them, in the form of units (shares), to investors. Import Trade Financing Operations (ITFO): A short term trade financing scheme for import of commodities of developmental nature required by member countries while promoting the flow of trade among them. Infant mortality rate is the number of infants dying before reaching one year of age, per 1,000 live births in a given year. Inflation as measured by the consumer price index reflects the annual percentage change in the cost to the average consumer of acquiring a fixed basket of goods and services that may be fixed or changed at specified intervals, such as yearly. Instalment Sale: A mode of financing whereby IDB purchases machinery and equipment, then sells them to the beneficiary at a higher price, with repayment to be made by instalments. The ownership of the asset is transferred to the purchaser on delivery. International reserves consist of the country's holding of monetary gold, Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) and foreign exchange, as well as its reserve position in the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Internet users: are people with access to the worldwide network. Islamic Banks Portfolio: A trust fund managed by IDB which was established in 1407H (1987) by 20 Islamic banks and financial institutions (IBFI). Its objective is to mobilize the resources available with IBFI and channel them to finance trade & projects. Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector (ICD). A private sector entity of the IDB group whose mandate is to address the development needs of its members through private sector interventions. Istisna a: A medium-term mode of financing. It is a contract for manufacturing (or construction) whereby the manufacturer (seller) agrees to provide the buyer with goods 89

105 identified by description after they have been manufactured/constructed in conformity with that description within a pre-determined time-frame and price. Labor force comprises people who meet the ILO definition of the economically active population: all people who supply labor for the production of goods and services during a specified period. It includes both the employed and the unemployed. While national practices vary in the treatment of such groups as the armed forces and seasonal or part-time workers, the labor force generally includes the armed forces, the unemployed and first-time job seekers, but excludes homemakers and other unpaid caregivers and workers in the informal sector. Land area (in square kilometers) is a country s total area, excluding area under inland water bodies, national claims to continental shelf, and exclusive economic zones. In most cases the definition of inland water bodies includes major rivers and lakes. Leasing: A medium-term mode of financing, which involves purchasing equipment and machinery and subsequently transferring their right of use to the beneficiary for a specific period of time, during which the IDB retains the ownership of the asset. Life expectancy at birth indicates the number of years a newborn infant is expected to live if prevailing patterns of mortality at the time of its birth were to stay the same throughout its life. Lines of financing: A financing facility made available to financial institutions in member countries to finance projects and trade operations of small and medium enterprises. Liquid liabilities: are also known as broad money, or M3. They are the sum of currency and deposits in the central bank (M0), plus transferable deposits and electronic currency (M1), plus time and savings deposits, foreign currency transferable deposits, certificates of deposit, and securities repurchase agreements (M2), plus travelers checks, foreign currency time deposits, commercial paper, and shares of mutual funds or market funds held by residents. Loan: A mode of financing used by the IDB to finance projects in member countries, particularly its least developed countries. It carries a service fee intended to cover the actual costs of administering the loan. The repayment period ranges from 15 to 25 years including a grace period of 3-7 years. Manufactures exports or imports comprise chemicals, basic manufactures, machinery and transport equipment, and miscellaneous manufactured goods, excluding non-ferrous metals. Maternal mortality rate is the number of deaths of women from pregnancy-related causes per 100,000 live births in a given year. Merchandise exports show the f.o.b. value of goods provided to the rest of the world valued in U.S. dollars. Merchandise imports show the c.i.f. value of goods received from the rest of the world valued in U.S. dollars. Money supply (M1) comprises transferable deposits and currency outside deposit money banks. 90

106 Money supply (M2) (comprises money and quasi money) is the sum of currency outside banks, demand deposits other than those of the central government, and the time, savings, and foreign currency deposits of resident sectors other than the central government. Murabahah: A contract of sale between a buyer and a seller in which a seller purchases the goods needed by a buyer and sells the goods to the buyer on a cost-plus basis. Both the profit (mark-up) and the time of repayment (usually in instalments) are specified in an initial contract. Profit Sharing (Musharaka): A financing technique that involves pooling of funds by two or more parties in order to finance a particular venture. Each partner obtains, in accordance with the terms and conditions of partnership, a percentage of (net) profit accruing from the venture. The profit accrued or loss incurred is shared proportional to each partner's contribution in the capital of the venture. Net current transfers are recorded in the balance of payments whenever an economy provides or receives goods, services, income, or financial items without a quid pro quo. All transfers not considered to be capital are current. Net financial flows refer to gross disbursement of ODA, other official flows and private flows (total amount disbursed over a given period) less any repayments of loan principal during the same period. ODA relates to grants or concessional loans (i.e. with a grant element of at least 25 percent), undertaken by the official sector, whose main objective is the promotion of economic development and welfare. Net income (balance of payments) refers to receipts and payments of employee compensation paid to nonresident workers and investment income (receipts and payments on direct investment, portfolio investment, other investments, and receipts on reserve assets).
