s Due to <strong>the</strong> cession in July 2011 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Republic <strong>of</strong> South Sudan by <strong>the</strong> Republic <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Sudan, and its subsequent admission to <strong>the</strong> United Nations on 14 July 2011, disaggregated data for <strong>the</strong> Sudan<br />

and South Sudan as separate <strong>State</strong>s are not yet available for all indicators. Aggregated data presented are for <strong>the</strong> Sudan pre-cession (see Memorandum item).<br />

DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS<br />

GNI per capita – Gross national income (GNI) is <strong>the</strong> sum <strong>of</strong> value added by all resident producers,<br />

plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in <strong>the</strong> valuation <strong>of</strong> output, plus net receipts <strong>of</strong><br />

primary income (compensation <strong>of</strong> employees and property income) from abroad. GNI per capita is<br />

GNI divided by midyear population. GNI per capita in US dollars is converted using <strong>the</strong> World Bank<br />

Atlas method.<br />

GNI per capita (PPP US$) – GNI per capita converted to international dollars, taking into<br />

account differences in price levels (purchasing power) between countries. Based on data from <strong>the</strong><br />

International Comparison Programme (ICP).<br />

GDP per capita – Gross domestic product (GDP) is <strong>the</strong> sum <strong>of</strong> value added by all resident<br />

producers; plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in <strong>the</strong> valuation <strong>of</strong> output. GDP per<br />

capita is GDP divided by midyear population. Growth is calculated from constant price GDP data in<br />

local currency.<br />

Population below international poverty line <strong>of</strong> US$1.25 per day – Percentage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

population living on less than US$1.25 per day at 2005 prices, adjusted for purchasing power parity<br />

(PPP). The new poverty threshold reflects revisions to PPP exchange rates based on <strong>the</strong> results <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> 2005 ICP. The revisions reveal that <strong>the</strong> cost <strong>of</strong> living is higher across <strong>the</strong> developing world than<br />

previously estimated. As a result <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se revisions, poverty rates for individual countries cannot<br />

be compared with poverty rates reported in previous editions. More detailed information on <strong>the</strong><br />

definition, methodology and sources <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> data presented is available at .<br />

ODA – Net <strong>of</strong>ficial development assistance.<br />

Debt service – Sum <strong>of</strong> interest payments and repayments <strong>of</strong> principal on external public and<br />

publicly guaranteed long-term debts.<br />

Share <strong>of</strong> household income – Percentage <strong>of</strong> income received by <strong>the</strong> 20 per cent <strong>of</strong> households<br />

with <strong>the</strong> highest income and by <strong>the</strong> 40 per cent <strong>of</strong> households with <strong>the</strong> lowest income.<br />
