iv 2015 The Little Data Book on Private Sector Development
The Little Data Book on Private Sector Development 2015 is based on World
Development Indicators 2015 and its accompanying online tables, with a focus
on the private sector in development. The Little Data Book on Private Sector
Development 2015 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 Trade and Competitiveness Global Practice. The
Development Data Group team included Liu Cui, Federico Escaler, Buyant
Erdene Khaltarkhuu, William Prince, and Jomo Tariku. The Trade and
Competitiveness team included Ramin Aliyev, Jenny Datoo, Nathalie David,
and Patricia Ellen Steele. The work was carried out under the management
of Haishan Fu, director of the Development Data Group, and Klaus Tilmes,
director of the Trade and Competitiveness Global Practice. Azita Amjadi
and Leila Rafei coordinated all stages of production. Barton Matheson
Willse & Worthington typeset the book. Nora Ridolfi, Paola Scalabrin, and
Janice Tuten from World Bank’s Publishing and Knowledge Division oversaw
publication and dissemination of the book.

vThe Little Data Book on Private Sector Development 2015
PrefaceReliable cross-country data on aspects of private sector development are
crucial in planning for economic recovery and growth. In targeting increased
exports and investment, many governments prioritize an improved climate for
business as a basis to attract capital, create jobs, and provide basic services.
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 they pro-
vide information on how business owners assess their business environments.
The data have led to new research, enabled benchmarking, and informed
the reform process in many developing countries. Please visit the Business
Environment Snapshots (http://rru.worldbank.org/besnapshots/) for more
information.
Included in this guide are indicators on the economic and social context, the
business environment, private sector investment, finance and banking, and
infrastructure. Though a pocket guide cannot include all relevant variables,
the included indicators 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.
vi 2015 The Little Data Book on Private Sector Development
Data notesThe data in this book are for 2005 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 cutoff date for data is March 1, 2015.

9The Little Data Book on Private Sector Development 2015
For 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 $1,045 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, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovak
Republic, Slovenia, and Spain.

a. Data series will be calculated upon finalization of the ongoing revisions to official statistics by the National Statistics and Censuses Institute of Argentina.
b. Data for Argentina are officially reported by the National Statistics and Censuses Institute of Argentina. The IMF has, however, issued a decla-ration of censure and called on Argentina to adopt remedial measures to address the quality of the official GDP and CPI data. Alternative data sources have shown significantly lower real growth and higher inflation than the official data since 2008. In this context, the World Bank is also using alternative data sources and estimates for the surveillance of macroeconomic developments in Argentina.
c. Excludes South Sudan.

Agriculture value added is the net output of agriculture (International Stan-dard Industrial Classification divisions 1–5, including forestry and fishing) after totaling outputs and subtracting intermediate inputs. (World Bank and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)
Air transport for registered carrier departures worldwide are domestic take-offs and takeoffs abroad of air carriers registered in the country. (International Civil Aviation Organization)
Bank capital to asset ratio is the ratio of bank capital and reserves to total assets. Capital and reserves include funds contributed by owners, retained earnings, general and special reserves, provisions, and valuation adjust-ments. Capital includes tier 1 capital (paid-up shares and common stock), which is a common feature in all countries’ banking systems, and total regulatory capital, which includes several specified types of subordinated debt instruments that need not be repaid if the funds are required to maintain minimum capital levels (these comprise tier 2 and tier 3 capital). Total assets include all nonfinancial and financial assets. (International Monetary Fund)
Bank nonperforming loans to total gross loans is the percentage value of nonperforming loans divided by the total value of the loan portfolio (including nonperforming loans before the deduction of specific loan loss provisions). The loan amount recorded as nonperforming should be the gross value of the loan as recorded on the balance sheet, not just the amount that is overdue. (International Monetary Fund)
Delay in obtaining an electrical connection is the average wait, in days, to obtain an electrical connection from the day an establishment applies for it to the day it receives the service. (World Bank)
Domestic credit to the private sector is financial resources provided to the private sector—such as through loans, purchases of nonequity securities, and trade credits and other accounts receivable—that establish a claim for repayment. For some countries these claims include credit to public enterprises. (International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)
Ease of doing business index ranks economies from 1 to 189, with 1 being the best. A high ranking means that a country’s regulatory environment is conducive to business operation. The index ranks the simple average of a country’s percentile rankings on 11 topics covered in Doing Business 2015. The ranking on each topic is the simple average of the percentile rankings on its component indicators. Data listed for 2013 are for June 2014. (World Bank)
Electric power consumption is the production of power plants and combined heat and power plants minus transmission, distribution, and transformation losses and own use by heat and power plants. (International Energy Agency)

Exports of goods and services are the value of all goods and other market services provided to the rest of the world. They include the value of mer-chandise, freight, insurance, transport, travel, royalties, license fees, and other services, such as communication, construction, financial, information, business, personal, and government services.

GDP growth is the annual percentage growth rate of gross domestic product (GDP) at market prices based on constant local currency. Aggregates are based on constant 2005 U.S. dollars. 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 deducting for depreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources. (World Bank and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)
GNI per capita, World Bank Atlas method, is gross national income (GNI) converted to U.S. dollars using the World Bank Atlas method, divided by the midyear population. GNI is the sum of value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes minus any subsidies not included in the valuation of output plus net receipts of primary income (compensation of employees and property income) from abroad. GNI, calculated in national currency, is usually converted to U.S. dollars at official exchange rates for comparisons across economies. To smooth fluctuations in prices and exchange rates, the World Bank Atlas method is used; it averages the exchange rate for a given year and the two preceding years, adjusted for differences in rates of inflation between the country and the Euro area, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. (World Bank)

235The Little Data Book on Private Sector Development 2015
Government debt is the entire stock of direct government fixed-term contractual obligations to others outstanding on a particular date. It includes domestic and foreign liabilities such as loans, currency and money deposits, and securities other than shares.

Incinerators, movable assets, standalone solid waste projects, and small projects such as windmills are excluded. Data listed for 2005 and 2013 refer to total for the period 2000–05 and 2006–13. (World Bank)
Labor force is all people who supply labor for the production of goods and services during a specified period, according to the International Labour Organization definition of the economically active population.
