  • Country Policy and Institutional Assessment

    The World Bank's Country Policy and Institutional Assessment is done annually for all its borrowing countries. It has evolved into a set of criteria, which are grouped in four clusters: (a) economic management; (b) structural policies; (c) policies for social inclusion and equity; and (d) public sector management and institutions. The number of criteria, currently sixteen, reflect a balance between ensuring that all key factors that foster pro-poor growth and poverty alleviation are captured, without overly burdening the evaluation process. Ratings for each of the criteria reflect a variety of indicators, observations, and judgments. They focus on the quality of each country's current policies and institutions - which are the main determinant of present aid effectiveness prospects. To fully underscore the importance of the CPIA in the IDA Performance Based Allocations, the overall country score is referred to as the IDA Resource Allocation Index (IRAI).

  • Statistical Performance Indicators (SPI)

    This dataset is classified as Public under the Access to Information Classification Policy. Users inside and outside the Bank can access this dataset. The Statistical Performance Indicators (SPI) is a framework to measure progress in statistical capacity building and related investments. It covers five aspects: data use, data services, data products, data sources, and data infrastructure. Countries will be given an opportunity to dispute the values that make up our indicators. The team takes every effort to make sure the data presented in the Statistical Performance Indicators are accurate, but it is possible that the sources we used to assign values for our indicators are occasionally not up to date or accurate despite these efforts. Because of this, countries will have a window to provide documentation for any disputed values through contacting the Bank directly or via data@worldbank.org. "

  • Wealth Accounts

    Total wealth encompasses produced capital, renewable natural capital, nonrenewable natural capital, human capital, and net foreign assets. The construction of the wealth accounts is guided by the concepts and methods of the System of National Accounts (SNA), the handbook developed by the UN Statistical Commission used by virtually all countries to compile their national economic accounts. While values for produced capital and net foreign assets are generally derived from widely used methods based on observed transactions for these assets, the value of natural capital and human capital must be estimated. The approach to asset valuation is based on the concept that the value of an asset should equal the discounted stream of expected net earnings (resource rents or wages) that it earns over its lifetime.

  • ICP 2021

    Results from the International Comparison Program (Benchmark) 2021 cycle include data for the new reference year 2021, revised data for the previous reference year 2017, and purchasing power parities (PPPs) time series for 2018 to 2020. 2021 results are available for 176 participating economies and their aggregate regions. They cover 45 expenditure headings and provide several indicators for each heading, including PPPs, national accounts expenditures in PPP and nominal terms, and price level indices. Imputed results are available for an additional 19 economies that did not participate in the ICP 2021 cycle. Revised 2017 results are available for 178 participating economies and cover 44 expenditure headings and several indicators, including PPPs, national accounts expenditures in PPP and nominal terms, and price level indices. Additionally, imputed results are available for 17 economies that did not participate in the ICP 2017 cycle. Annual PPPs are available for 2017 to 2021 and cover 6 major expenditure headings. 2022-2023 GDP PPP series are also provided beyond the most recent ICP benchmark based on the standard extrapolation approach. The standard ICP methodology between the two most recent 2017 and 2021 ICP cycles has been maintained. However, in ICP 2021, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region was linked through the standard global core list approach, unlike in ICP 2017, when the CIS region was linked through the Russian Federation, which participated in both the OECD and CIS comparisons. For ICP 2017, the Russian Federation results are based on the OECD comparison, and for ICP 2021, they are based on the CIS comparison. Furthermore, the Asia and Pacific region moved to the standard ICP approach for estimating housing PPPs based on rental and volume data during the ICP 2021 cycle. The standard approach was utilized for the revised ICP 2017 results and ICP 2021 results, both at the regional and global levels, instead of the previously utilized reference volume approach. 1/ PPPs are statistical estimates and should be treated as approximations of true values, subject to sampling, measurement, and classification errors. They should not be used as indicators of currency under- or overvaluation. ICP Results are based on data supplied by participating economies to the global and regional implementing agencies and produced in accordance with ICP methodology. Results are not deemed to be national official statistics. 2/ The standard ICP methodology between the two most recent 2017 and 2021 ICP cycles has been maintained.

For the time series estimates for 2018-2020, data were complemented with internal estimates by ICP Global Office where participating economies could not provide any of input data required for PPPs time series estimates.
