Key to Indices:

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the sum of the value added by all producers in
an economy.

Gross Domestic Product per Capita is the total annual output of a country’s
economy divided by the mid-year population. Values are obtained directly from the
World Bank.

Average Annual Growth Rate of GDP is the average percentage growth of a
country or region’s economy for each year between (and including) 1995 and 2005.

GDP Distribution by Sector
Distribution of GDP by Sector is the percent of total output of goods and services
that is a result of value added by a given sector.

Adjusted Net Savings (previously “genuine savings”) is equal to a nation’s private
and public net savings (gross domestic product plus net income and transfers from
abroad minus consumption of fixed capital) plus education expenditure, minus
energy depletion, mineral depletion, net forest depletion, and carbon dioxide and
particulate emissions damage.

Exports of Goods and Services represents the value of all goods and other
market services provided to the rest of the world.

Financial Flows
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is private investment in a foreign economy to
obtain a lasting management interest (10 percent or more of voting stock) in an
enterprise.

Official Development Assistance (ODA) and Aid measures the amount of ODA
received by a country.

Workers’ Remittances as a Percent of GNI is calculated by dividing remittances
by gross national income. Both values are originally in current US dollars,
and the quotient is expressed as a percentage. Remittances measure the transfer
of earned wages by migrant workers to their home country.

NOTES:
a. Adjusted net savings, formerly called genuine savings, measures the "true" rate of savings by taking into account human capital, depletion of natural resources, and damages from pollution.
b. Represents inflows of development assistance and aid.
c. 2004 value.
d. Data for Serbia include the country of Montenegro (these countries were a single nation from 2003 to 2006).
