iv 2011 The Little Data Book on Private Sector Development
The Little Data Book on Private Sector Development 2011 is based on World
Development Indicators 2011 and its accompanying CD-ROM, with a focus
on the private sector in development. The Little Data Book on Private Sector
Development 2011 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 Azita Amjadi, David Cieslikowski, Federico Escaler, Buyant
Erdene Khaltarkhuu, Alison Kwong, William Prince, and Jomo Tariku. The
Investment Climate Department's team included Nathalie David and Ayse
Boybeyi. 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. The book was typeset by Jomo Tariku. Staff
from External Affairs oversaw publication and dissemination of the book.

vThe Little Data Book on Private Sector Development 2011
Preface Access to reliable cross-country data on private sector development is crucial
when formulating responses to economic crisis. When downturns affect
exports, investment and growth negatively, making life easier for business
is a significant step towards economic recovery. This became very obvious
during the global financial crises when governments were trying 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’s Doing Business project, Enterprise Surveys, and the World
Bank Group 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.
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.
vi 2011 The Little Data Book on Private Sector Development
The data in this book are for 2000 and 2009 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.
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.

9The Little Data Book on Private Sector Development 2011
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 $995 or less
in 2009.
Middle-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of more than
$995 but less than $12,196. Lower-middle-income and upper-middle-income
economies are separated at a GNI per capita of $3,945.
High-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $12,196 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, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, and
Spain.

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 ratio is the value of non-
performing 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.

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

tractual obligations to others outstanding on a particular date. It includes
domestic and foreign liabilities such as loans, currency and money deposits,

as of a given date, usually the last day of the fiscal year. (International
Monetary Fund, World Bank, and Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development)
Gross fixed capital formation includes land improvements (fences, ditches,
drains, and so on); plant, machinery, and equipment purchases; and the

(including private nonprofit organizations) on additions to its fixed domes-
tic assets. (World Bank and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development)

reached financial closure and directly or indirectly serve the public, includ-
ing operation and management contracts with major capital expenditure,
greenfield projects (in which a private entity or public-private joint venture
builds and operates a new facility), and divestitures. Incinerators, movable
assets, standalone solid waste projects, and small projects such as windmills
are excluded. (World Bank)
ISO certification ownership is the percentage of firms that have earned
a quality certification recognized by the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO). (World Bank)
