The Little Data Book
Foreword
The Little Data Book 2015 is a pocket edition of World Development Indicators 2015. It is intended as a quick reference for users of the World
Development Indicators database, book, and mobile app. The database,
which covers more than 1,300 indicators and spans more than 50 years, is
available at data.worldbank.org.
The 214 country tables in The Little Data Book present the latest available
data for World Bank member countries and other economies with populations
of more than 30,000. The 14 summary tables cover regional and income
group aggregates.

Data notes
The data in this book are for 1990, 2000, and 2013 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.
The selection of indicators in these pages includes some of those being
used to monitor progress toward the Millennium Development Goals. For
more information about the eight goals—halving poverty and increasing
well-being by 2015—please see the other books in the World Development
Indicators 2015 family of products.
The cutoff date for data is February 1, 2015.

The Little Data Book
Income group tables
For operational and analytical purposes the World Bank’s main criterion for
classifying economies is gross national income (GNI) per capita. Each economy
in The Little Data Book 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.
Note: Classifications are fixed during the World Bank’s fiscal year (ending on
June 30), thus countries remain in the categories in which they are classified
irrespective of any revisions to their per capita income data.
Low-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $1,045 or less
in 2013.
Middle-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of more than
$1,045 but less than $12,746. Lower-middle-income and upper-middle-income
economies are separated at a GNI per capita of $4,125.
High-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $12,746 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,
Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovak Republic,
Slovenia, and Spain.
