The Little Data Book on Private Sector Development 2010 iiiAcknowledgments
The Little Data Book on Private Sector Development 2010 is based on World
Development Indicators 2010 and its accompanying CD-ROM, with a focus
on the private sector in development. The Little Data Book on Private Sector
Development 2010 is the result of close collaboration between the staff of
the World Bank’s Development Data Group of the Development Economics
Vice Presidency and the Investment Climate Department of the Financial and
Private Sector Development Vice Presidency. The Development Data Group
team included David Cieslikowski, Richard Fix, Buyant Erdene Khaltarkhuu,
Alison Kwong, Raymond Muhula, and William Prince. The Investment
Climate Department’s project coordinator was Shokraneh Minovi. The work
was carried out under the management of Shaida Badiee, director of the
Development Data Group, and Pierre Guislain, director of the Investment
Climate Department. Meta de Coquereaumont, Christopher Trott, and Elaine
Wilson of Communications Development Incorporated provided design,
editing, and layout. Staff from External Affairs oversaw publication and
dissemination of the book.
iv 2010 The Little Data Book on Private Sector DevelopmentPreface
The global financial crisis has led to rising interest in private sector
development and economic growth. There is strong evidence that crises
can stimulate investment climate reform. A better investment climate
makes economic adjustment easier and helps attract capital to create jobs
and provide basic services. Well functioning finance markets and a robust
private sector are critical in increasing productivity and growth and spreading
e q u a l i t y o f o p p o r t u n i t y. T h e a v a i l a b i l i t y o f c r o s s - c o u n t r y d a t a o n t h e b u s i n e s s
environment has rapidly expanded in recent years, including data from the
World Bank’s Doing Business project and Enterprise Surveys. These data
sources report on the scope and types of regulations that enhance—and
constrain—business activity and provide information on business owners’
assessments of the business environment. The data have led to new research,
enabled benchmarking, and informed the reform process in many developing
countries.
Included in this guide are indicators on the economic and social context,
the investment climate, private sector investment, finance and banking, and
infrastructure. Though a pocket guide cannot include all relevant variables,
the indicators that are included provide users with a general understanding
of the private sector in each country. Indicators displayed in the tables are
defined in the Glossary, which also lists data sources.
We welcome your suggestions for how to improve future editions and make
them more useful.
The Little Data Book on Private Sector Development 2010 vData notes
The data in this book are for 2000 and 2008 or the most recent year unless
otherwise noted in the table or the Glossary.
• Growth rates are proportional changes from the previous year unless
otherwise noted.
• Regional aggregates include data for low- and middle-income
economies only.
• Figures in italics indicate data for years or periods other than those
specified.
Symbols used:
.. indicates that data are not available or that aggregates cannot
be calculated because of missing data.
0 or 0.0 indicates zero or small enough that the number would round
to zero at the displayed number of decimal places.
$ indicates current U.S. dollars.
Data are shown for economies with populations greater than 30,000 or for
smaller economies if they are members of the World Bank. The term country
(used interchangeably with economy) does not imply political independence
or official recognition by the World Bank but refers to any economy for which
the authorities report separate social or economic statistics.
