Definitions, Abbreviations,
and Explanatory Notes
25X1
Fiscal Year: The abbreviation FY stands for fiscal year; all years
are calendar years unless otherwise indicated.
GDP and GNP: GDP is the total market value of all goods and
services produced within the domestic borders of a country over
a particular time period, normally a year. GNP equals GDP plus
the income accruing to domestic residents arising from invest-
ment abroad less income earned in the domestic market accruing
to foreigners abroad.
Imports, Exports, and Aid: Standard abbreviations used in
individual entries throughout this factbook are c.i.f. (cost, insur-
ance, and freight), f.o.b. (free on board), ODA (official develop-
ment assistance), and OOF (other official flows).
Land Utilization: Most of the land utilization percentages are
rough estimates. Figures for -arable- land in some cases reflect
the area under cultivation rather than the total cultivable area.
Maps: References under the locator maps pertain to the area
maps at the back of the unclassified version of The World
Fact book.
Maritime Zones: Fishing and economic zones claimed by coastal
states are included only when they differ from territorial sea
limits. Maritime claims do not necessarily represent the position
of the United States Government.
Money: All money figures are in contemporaneous US dollars
unless otherwise indicated.
Oil Terms: Barrel (bbl) and barrels per day (b/d) are used to
express volume of crude oil and refined products; a barrel equals
42.00 gallons, 158.99 liters, 5.61 cubic feet, or 0.16 cubic meters.
