The Department of Economic and Socia l Affa i rs of the United Nations Secretariat is

a vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and environmental

spheres and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas:

(i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and

environmental data and information on which States Members of the United Nations

draw to review common problems and to take stock of policy options; ( i i ) it facil itates

the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses

of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises

interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks

developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country

level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities.

Introduction

World Statistics Pocketbook vii

The World Statistics Pocketbook is an annual compilation of key economic, social

and environmental indicators, presented in one-page profiles. This edition includes

country profiles for 216 countries or areas of the world. Prepared by the United

Nations Statistics Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, it

responds to General Assembly resolution 2626 (XXV), in which the Secretary-General

is requested to supply basic national data that will increase international public

awareness of countries' development efforts.

The indicators shown are selected from the wealth of international statistical

information compiled regularly by the Statistics Division and the Population Divisionof the United Nations, the statistical services of the United Nations specialized

agencies and other international organizations and institutions. Special recognition

is gratefully given for their assistance in continually providing data.

Time period

This issue of the World Statistics Pocketbook covers various years from 2005 to

2012. For the economic indicators, in general, three years - 2005, 2010 and 2011 -

are shown, unless otherwise indicated. Due to space limitations, data for one year

only are shown for the indicators in the social and environmental categories. For the

six social indicators for which the range of years 2010-2015 is shown, the data refer

to projections. When other ranges of years are shown, the data refer to the most

recent year available within that range.

Organization of the Pocketbook

The country tables or profiles are presented alphabetically according to countries

names in English and contain the available data for the following broad categories:

General information: includes each countrys location by geographical

region, currency, surface area, population and population density, capital

city and United Nations membership date

Economic indicators: includes national accounts (Gross domestic product (GDP),

GDP growth rate, GDP per capita, gross national income per capita and gross

fixed capital formation), exchange rates, balance of payments, consumer

price index, production indices (industrial, agricultural and food),unemployment, employment, labour force participation, tourist arrivals,

energy production, telephone subscribers and internet users

Trade:contains the value of total exports, imports and the trade balance as

well as the countries main trading partners

Social indicators: includes population (growth rates, urban percentage, age

groups and sex ratios), life expectancy, infant mortality rate, total fertility

rate, contraceptive prevalence, international migrant stock, refugees,

education (expenditure and enrolment), intentional homicides and female

participation in national parliaments

Environmental indicators: includes threatened species, forested area, CO2

emission estimates, energy consumption per capita and climatological

information.

The complete set of indicators, listed by category and in the order in which they

appear in the profiles, is shown at the beginning of the country profile section. Not

all indicators are shown for each country or area due to different degrees of data

availability.

The technical notes section, which follows the country profile pages, contains

brief descriptions of the concepts and methodologies used in the compilation of the

indicators as well as information on the statistical sources for the indicators.

Readers interested in longer time-series data or more detailed descriptions of the

concepts or methodologies should consult the primary sources of the data and the

references listed in the section following the technical notes.

The index of indicators, at the back of this publication, lists the complete set of

indicators in alphabetical order and shows the category in which each is presented in

the country profiles along with the pages on which information on the concepts,

definitions and the data sources are given. As noted above, the number of indicators

actually shown for the countries varies according to data availability.

Note

The present World Statistics Pocketbook, 2013 edition (Series V, No. 37) is an

update of the previous edition which was released in 2012 and entitled World

Statistics Pocketbook 2011(Series V, No. 36).
