CIA World Fact Book 8 February 2007

World Prison Brief 19 April 2006

Human Development Data 2006

[1] $8.9 billion for 2004-2009 Afghanistan plus $10.2 billion in January 2006

[2] $2.3 billion for disbursement 2003-2007 Yemen

[4] Palestine West Bank Population 2,460,492, Gaza Strip 1,428,757 July 2006

[6] HDR report Palestine received ODA of $971.6 million in 2003 that is probably what they received in 2004. However the Palestinian report suggests only $490.2 million were disbursed and only $582.1 million promised.

[7] Iraq receive more than $33 billion for 2004-2007 in the Madrid Conference

[8] $50 million from the US to Kyrgyzstan in 2001

[10] Uzbekistan received $87.4 million from the US in 2003.

[12] The Tsunami of December 2004 led to a contraction of the economy of Maldive in 2005

[13] Maldive Budget includes foreign reconstruction grants

[14] Maldive received $27.9 million in aid in 2004

[16] The Egyptian GDP (purchasing power parity) shows a decline from $337.9 billion and per capita of $4,400 in 2005 although they claim an economic growth rate 5.7%. Official exchange rate GDP is $84.51 billion and increase from $81.47 billion in 2005. The account deficit is nearly 10% of the GDP. This deficit is attributed to the need to subsidize programs for the increasing poor population.

[18] Morocco received $218 million ODA in 2002 and $706 million in 2004

[19] Official unemployment rate in Jordan is 15%, the unofficial unemployment is estimated as high as 30%

[21] Official exchange rate GDP of Lebanon went down from $20.7 billion to $19.62

[22] The war with Israel led to a serious contraction in the Lebanese economy as work became devoted to reconstruction.

[23] There may be as many as 1 million foreign workers in Lebanon resulting in a reduction in the labor estimate from 2.6 million of 2005.

[24] $2.2 billion received (2003), out of the $4.2 billion in soft loans pledged at the November 2002 Paris II Aid Conference.

[25] The population of Kurdistan in 2000 was comprised of 18.4 million in Turkey, 9million in Iran, 6.4 million in Iraq, 1.6 million in Syria – 36.2 million. Kurdistan is not included in the total to preclude counting twice.

[26] Azerbaijan growth rate grew from 18.3% in 2005 to 32.5% for 2006 and is reliant upon the 50% industrial growth rate that is mostly oil development investment and is not very credible and certainly is doing little to help the population 49% of which live below the poverty line.

[27] Azerbaijan received $140 million assistance in 2000

[28] Budget and trade surpluses permitted the foreign debt of Algeria to go down from $21.54 to $5 billion

In particular, the rate of GDP growth is uncertain.
