African Development Indicators 1998-99

This recently revised and expanded statistical collection provides the most detailed collection of data on Africa available in one volume. It presents data from over 50 African countries, arranged in more than 250 separate tables or matrices for more than 300 indicators of development. Some 40 graphs assist in interpreting the data. The indicators will be grouped into individual chapters, covering such topics as background data, national accounts, prices and exchange rates, money and banking, the external sector, external debt and related flows, government finance, agriculture, public and energy production, communications, transport, labor force and employment, public enterprises, aid flows, social indicators, environmental indicators, and household welfare indicators. Each chapter includes a brief introduction on the nature of the data and their limitations followed by technical notes that define the indicators and identify specific sources.
