2 The Department of Economic and Social Affairs 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; (ii) it facilitates 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. Note The designations employed and the presentation of material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. The term country as used in this publication also refers, as appropriate, to territories or areas.

7 Introduction The World Statistics Pocketbook is the thirtieth in a series of annual compilations of key economic, social and environmental indicators, presented in one-page 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 Division of 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 2000 to For the economic indicators, in general, three years , 2005 and 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 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 country s 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 and imports as well as the countries main trading partners : includes population (numbers, growth rates, age groups and sex ratios), life expectancy, infant mortality rate, total fertility rate, contraceptive prevalence, international migrant stock, refugees, education World Statistics Pocketbook 2010 vii

8 Introduction (continued) (expenditure and enrolment), deaths by assault and female participation in national parliaments : includes threatened species, forested area, CO 2 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. * * * The World Statistics Pocketbook is prepared annually by the Statistical Services Branch of the Statistics Division, Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat.
