Country Rankings - 1999
As a statistical aid, the following tables show 167 countries of the world listed in descending order of their 1999
value for each of 7 absolute and 10 relative (or ratio) indicators. These data are taken from Main Statistical Tables I and II,
below.
Users of the rankings should be aware that they are based on data that are in many cases qualified, as indicated by
annotations in Tables I and II such as not available, rough estimate, estimate, and others. These tables should be con-
sulted in interpreting the rankings.
Entries marked not available (NA) are ranked on the basis of very rough estimates. While it is considered prefer-
able to include countries with such data in the rankings rather than omit them, these ranks should be understood as having a
wide range of error, which in most cases extends well beyond the level of neighboring countries in the rankings.
The indicators, their abbreviations, and their data units are as follows:
A summary index, which lists the countries of the world alphabetically and shows each countrys rank number for
each indicator, may be found on the final pages of this set of tables. (The symbol + here indicates that the countrys value
for that indicator is zero and the rank is actually a tie for last place).
All monetary values are in 1999 dollars. For most countries, national currencies were converted at average annual
1999 exchange rates, while for some, a purchasing power parity (PPP) was used (as indicated in Table I). Users should be
aware that country rankings can shift considerably from edition to edition due to the change in the base year for exchange
rates and depending on whether exchange rates or PPPs were used .
