Purpose and Scope The Economic Intelligence Statistical Handbook, 1974 provides statistics for selected non-Communist countries and all the Communist countries. In general, the data in the Handbook are for 1965-73. Summary tables are presented for the United States, Japan, the European Community, the USSR, Eastern Europe, and China. Footnotes have been used liberally to give definitions, excep- tions, and methodology. Footnotes to the com- modity tables give more detailed definitions of the data than those appearing for the commodities on the summary tables. The data given for the most recent years are frequently preliminary and subject to revision. The data for the Communist countries are estimates of this Office, official data from the country cited, or estimates made by other organizations. The data for the non-Communist countries are from publica- tions of the United Nations and the Organiza- tion for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), are from unclassified publications of other international organizations or individual countries, or are estimates of this Office. 2. Rounding of the Totals The totals have been rounded, with some ex- ceptions, to three significant digits. In general, zeros appearing after the last nonzero number following the decimal point are not significant but are used merely for consistency in presenta- tion, and, because of rounding, components may not add to the totals shown. Totals are not pre- sented if missing data are believed to represent a significant part of the total. 3. Symbols The abbreviation N.A. (not available) is used when information about the existence of the data or the magnitude of the data are not available, and the abbreviation Negl. (negligible) is used when the magnitude of the data is less than half of the final unit employed for each table. The metric system is used throughout. 4. Classification of Data The overall classification of the Handbook is Confidential. The Confidential data are indicated by an asterisk (*). Tables in which all of the data are Confidential have been identified accordingly. Con- fidential data, however, frequently occur on the re- verse of the page, and, therefore, caution should be exercised if pages are removed from this handbook. Unless otherwise indicated, the term Communist Countries includes the USSR, the countries of Eastern Europe, China, North Korea, North Viet- nam, Albania, Cuba, and Yugoslavia; the term Eastern Europe includes Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Romania. The term European Community includes Belgium, Den- mark, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and West Ger- many. The term developed countries includes the European Community, Austria, Finland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Aus- tralia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States. The term Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development includes Greece, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, and all the de- veloped countries, except Liechtenstein and South Africa. The term less developed countries includes the following non-Communist countries: (1) all countries of Africa except the Republic of South Africa, (2) all countries of East Asia except Japan, (3) all countries in Latin America, and (4) all countries in the Middle East and South Asia. As far as possible, production data for the Saar have been included in the data for West Germany for all years, unless otherwise indicated. Totals for the country groupings may or may not include all of the countries listed above, depending on the commodity or services listed. iii CONFIDENTIAL Approved For Release 2000/04/19 : CIA-RDP79SO1091A000300060020-1 Approved For Release 2000/04/19 : 9AAWF79S01091A000300060020-1 US Economic Loans and Grants to the Less Developed Countries, by Recipient' Million US $ 1946-732 1972-1 19738 Total. .............. ...................
