Abstract
The report is intended to provide a consistent, and convenient set of data to monitor development programs, and aid flows in the Africa region, while continuing the succession of data publication series, began in 1989 by the World Bank, in cooperation with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Each new volume provides access to more focused information, and represents an improvement in the quality, and availability of the data. The data contained in this report stems mostly, from national statistical services in Africa, and, additionally, many international agencies compile data on Africa, presented in a standardized framework. World Bank staff, supplement estimates to help address missing, or inconsistent data from standard sources, and, these differences in methodologies are addressed throughout in chapter introductions, and in technical notes. The report presents the available relevant data for 1970-99, grouped into fourteen chapters: background data; national accounts; prices, and exchange rates; money and banking; external sector; external debt, and related flows; government finance; sectoral information; aid flows; social indicators; and, environmental indicators (taken from the World Resources Institute's World Resources 2000).
Highlights
The balance of payments is a system of accounts covering a given period that is intended to record systematically (a) flows of real resources, including the services of the original factors of production, between the domestic economy of a country and the rest of the world; (b) changes in the country’s foreign assets and liabilities that arise from economic transactions; and (c) transfer payments, which are the counterpart of real resources or financial claims provided to, or received from, the rest of the world that carry no provision for repayment
Nigeria: from 1992 accounts are for consolidated budget; since 1994, ratios are distorted as off. exch. rate used by the Gov. for oil exports oil value added is significantly overvalued
The comparability of the data is further hampered by the fact that practices vary among countries as regards the treatment of such groups as armed forces, inmates of institutions, persons living on reservations, persons seeking their first job, seasonal workers, and persons engaged in part-time economic activities
