Financial systems and development

Throughout the World Development Indicators,
the data for China do not include Taiwan, China.
However, footnotes to Tables 14-18 provide esti-
mates of the international transactions for Taiwan,
China.
The table format of this edition follows that used
in previous years. In each group, economies are
listed in ascending order of GNP per capita, except
those for which no such figure can be calculated.
These are italicized and in alphabetical order at the
end of the group deemed to be appropriate. This
order is used in all tables except Table 19, which
covers only OPEC and high-income OECD coun-
tries. The alphabetical list in the key shows the
reference nurnber for each economy; here, too,
italics indicate economies with no estimates of
GNP per capita. Economies in the high-income
group marked by the symbol t are those classified
Economies with populations of less than I million
are not shown separately in the main tables,
but basic indicators for these countries and territories
are in a separate table in Box A.1.
The summary measures are overall estimates:
countries for which individual estimates are not
shown, because of size, nonreporting, or insufficient
history, have been included by assuming
they follow the trend of reporting countries during
such periods. This gives a more consistent aggregate
measure by standardizing country coverage
for each period shown. Group aggregates include
countries with less than 1 million population, even
though country-specific data for these countries do
not appear in the tables. Where missing information
accounts for a significant share of the overall
estimate, however, the group measure is reported
as not available.
Groups of economies
Countries are colored to show their income
group; for example, all low-income economies
(those with a GNP per capita of $480 or
less in 1987) are colored yellow. The groups
are those used in the 32 tables that follow.
