Товч агуулга:This edition updates core socio-economic indicators given on country pages in the 1988-89 edition, for the same countries, 136 Bank members plus Switzerland. These tables disseminate country estimates used by the Bank in its dialogue about economic and social trends in developing countries. Country time series are also used by the Bank to measure trends in groups of countries. Most time series are concerned with national accounts and international transactions (foreign trade, balance of payments and external debt). The World Tables topical pages fill a gap between the country pages and measures for analytical groupings of countries. The topical pages recast some indicators from country pages as a global backdrop for analyzing how low- and middle-income economies have fared in recent decades. The last few lines of each subtable indicate trends for high-income economies.
