Trang 6The Little Data Book on Private Sector Development 2013 is based on World Development Indicators 2013 and its accompanying online tables, with a focus
on the private sector in development The Little Data Book on Private Sector Development 2013 is the result of close collaboration between the staff of
the World Bank’s Development Data Group of the Development Economics Vice Presidency and the Investment Climate Department of the Financial and Private Sector Development Vice Presidency The Development Data Group team included Liu Cui, Federico Escaler, Buyant Erdene Khaltarkhuu, William Prince, and Jomo Tariku The Investment Climate Department’s team included Ryan Hahn and Nathalie David The work was carried out under the management of Shaida Badiee, director of the Development Data Group, and Pierre Guislain, director of the Investment Climate Department Azita Amjadi and Alison Kwong coordinated all stages of production Staff from World Bank Office of the Publisher oversaw publication and dissemination of the book.Acknowledgments
Trang 7Access to reliable cross-country data on private sector development is crucial when formulating responses to economic crises When downturns affect exports, investment, and growth negatively, making life easier for business is a significant step toward economic recovery This has become obvious during the global financial crisis as governments have tried to stimulate economic growth through the creation of more robust private and finance markets Improving the investment climate facilitates economic adjustment as it helps attract capital to create jobs and provide basic services
Unsurprisingly, the availability of cross-country data on the business environment has rapidly expanded in recent years, including data from the World Bank Group’s Doing Business project, Enterprise Surveys, and the Entrepreneurship Snapshots
The data sources presented in this book report on the scope and types of regulations that enhance—and constrain—business activity and provide information on business owners’ assessment of the business environment The data have led to new research, enabled benchmarking, and informed the reform process in many developing countries For more information, please visit the Business Environment Snapshots at http://rru.worldbank.org/besnapshots/
Included in this guide are indicators on the economic and social context, the investment climate, private sector investment, finance and banking, and infrastructure Though a pocket guide cannot include all relevant variables, the indicators that are included provide users with a general understanding
of the private sector in each country Indicators displayed in the tables are defined in the glossary, which also lists data sources
We welcome your suggestions on how to improve future editions and make them more useful
Trang 8Data notes
The data in this book are for 2005 and 2011 or the most recent year unless
otherwise noted in the table or the glossary.
• Growth rates are proportional changes from the previous year unless otherwise noted
• Regional aggregates include data for low- and middle-income economies only
• Figures in italics indicate data for years or periods other than those specified
Symbols used:
indicates that data are not available or that aggregates cannot
be calculated because of missing data
0 or 0.0 indicates zero or small enough that the number would round to
zero at the displayed number of decimal places
$ indicates current U.S dollars
Lettered notes on some country tables can be found in the notes on page 232
Data are shown for economies with populations greater than 30,000 or for smaller economies if they are members of the World Bank The term country (used interchangeably with economy) does not imply political independence
or official recognition by the World Bank but refers to any economy for which the authorities report separate social or economic statistics

Trang 17For 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 Private Sector Development 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 $1,025 or less
in 2011
Middle-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of more than
$1,025 but less than $12,476 Lower-middle-income and income economies are separated at a GNI per capita of $4,035
upper-middle-High-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $12,476 or more Euro area includes the member states of the Economic and Monetary Union
of the European Union that have adopted the euro as their currency: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, and Spain
