WBG GOALS
Population living on less than US$2.15 a day (%)
Population living on less than US$2.15 a day (%)
Percent of the population living on less than US$2.15 a day at 2017 PPP dollars. Aggregation is average, weighted by the total population. Data are reported for all IDA eligible countries (including blend countries) in a reporting fiscal year.
Median growth rate of consumption/income per capita of the bottom 40 percent (%)
Median growth rate of consumption/income per capita of the bottom 40 percent (%)
Median growth rates of average real per capita expenditure or income of the bottom 40% of every country’s population. Aggregation is an unweighted average. Data reported worldwide for all IDA countries with available data, which requires two comparable surveys in the selected period. Countries without two comparable surveys in (roughly) a five year spell are not included in the estimation.
Countries with growth concentrated in the bottom 40 percent (%)
Countries with growth concentrated in the bottom 40 percent (%)
Percent of countries for which growth in average (mean) real per capita income of the bottom 40% is positive and greater than growth in average (mean) real per capita income of the total population.
Growth rates are annualized over a time interval of roughly five years. Data reported worldwide for all IDA countries with two comparable surveys in the selected period. Countries without two comparable surveys in (roughly) a five year spell are not included in the estimation.
CLIMATE CHANGE
CO2 emissions (metric tons per capita)
CO2 emissions (metric tons per capita)
Carbon dioxide emissions are those stemming from the burning of fossil fuels and the manufacture of cement. They include carbon dioxide produced during consumption of solid, liquid, and gas fuels and gas flaring. Aggregation is population-weighted average. Data are reported for all IDA eligible countries, including blend countries, in a reporting fiscal year.
Countries without wealth depletion (%)
Countries without wealth depletion (%)
Percentage of IDA (inclusive of Blend) countries with positive changes in wealth per capita, based on the ‘total wealth’ indicator produced as part of the Changing Wealth of Nations publication and published on the World Bank’s databank. Changes in total wealth per capita is a leading indicator of sustainability and measures the changes in the sum of assets which yield an economic benefit over time. The four main asset categories are produced capital (machinery, structures, equipment, and urban land), human capital (including the knowledge, skills, and experience embodied in the workforce), natural capital (agricultural land, forests, mangroves, fisheries, fossil fuels and minerals) and net foreign assets (portfolio equity, debt securities, foreign direct investment, and other financial capital held in other countries). Measuring these assets are an important measure of economic sustainability, as it is these assets which underpin future income and welfare.
The indicator measures the proportion of countries where the changes in the sum of all these assets over time in per capita terms is positive. The higher the indicator the greater the share of countries likely to be on an economically sustainable development pathway. The lower the indicator the lesser the share of countries likely to be on an economically sustainable development pathway.
Data is reported for IDA eligible countries, including blend countries in a reporting fiscal year. If the change in the aggregated per capita value of these assets increases from one year to the next a country contributes positively to the indicator.
Countries without natural capital wealth depletion (%)
Countries without natural capital wealth depletion (%)
Percentage of IDA (inclusive of Blend) countries with positive changes in renewable natural capital per capita based on a subset of assets in the natural capital data series produced as part of the Changing Wealth of Nations publication and published on the World Development Indicators database. Renewable natural capital includes estimates of forest (that is accounting for timber, ecosystem services and the value of protected areas), mangroves, fisheries, cropland and pastureland. If the change in the aggregated per capita value of these assets increases from one year to the next a country contributes positively to the indicator.
Renewable natural capital is an indicator of sustainable natural resource management and is correlated with the state of nature, environment and services provided by natural assets to people. Consistent declines in renewable natural capital wealth provide an early warning that an economy is on an unsustainable development path with livelihoods dependent on environmental assets at risk.
GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT

The non-agriculture sectors refer to the industry and services sectors. Industry corresponds to the International Standard Industrial Classification, revision 4 (ISIC rev.4) divisions 05–43 and comprises value added in mining, manufacturing, construction, and electricity and water supply. Services correspond to ISIC divisions 45–98 and include value added in wholesale and retail trade, hotels and restaurants, transport, communication, government, financial, professional, and personal services such as education, health care, and real estate services. Calculation is based on data in US dollars. Aggregates are calculated as a weighted average of country values. Data are reported for all IDA eligible countries, including blend countries, in a reporting fiscal year.

IDA20 CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES
DEBT
IDA countries with low or moderate risk from unsustainable debt (number)
IDA countries with low or moderate risk from unsustainable debt (number)
Number of IDA countries rated 4.0 and above on a scale of 1-6 on question 3.a of the Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA). The indicator rating is based on debt policy criteria and assesses whether a country’s debt management policy is conducive to ensure medium-term debt sustainability and minimize budgetary risk. The criteria cover the extent to which external and domestic debt is contracted, with a view to achieving/maintaining debt sustainability. The CPIA rates countries against a set of 16 criteria grouped in four clusters: (i) economic management; (ii) structural policies; (iii) policies for social inclusion and equity; and (iv) public sector management and institutions.
GOVERNANCE AND INSTITUTIONS
Countries with improved budget reliability, transperancy of public finances, and control in budget execution
Countries with improved budget reliability, transperancy of public finances, and control in budget execution
This indicator was created to measure the three important elements of public financial management performance using three dimensions from three different pillars and indicators of the PEFA 2016 methodology: (https://www.pefa.org/resources/pefa-2016-framework)
(1.1) Aggregate expenditure outturn; (9.1) Public access to fiscal information; (24.2) Procurement methods
The three dimensions selected represent: budget reliability; transparency of public finances; and predictability and control in budget execution. The baseline score was set for each country with the most recent PEFA 2016 Assessment by the numerated value of the average scores of the three dimensions. The scoring is according PEFA 2016 methodology: A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1 and NU=0. The detailed data calculation method is described below.
In order to measure the progress, a comparison with previous assessments will be done using PEFA 2016 methodology, except for the cases when the previous assessments were using PEFA 2011 methodology. There is a special Comparison table used to compare both methodologies. https://www.pefa.org/resources/pefa-indicator-comparison-table-2011-vs-2016-and-2016-vs-2011-glance
Statistical Performance Indicators (scale from 0 to 100)
Statistical Performance Indicators (scale from 0 to 100)
The SPI overall score is a composite score measuring country performance across five pillars: data use, data services, data products, data sources, and data infrastructure. A higher score indicates a higher level of performance. Aggregation of the SPI overall score is a weighted average of the underlying 51 indicators.
IDA countries with increased tax fairness and progressivity (number)
IDA countries with increased tax fairness and progressivity (number)
A tax system is progressive and fair when its design allows for the average tax rate (liability) to increase as income or other relevant welfare metric increases. Note that for taxes that are regressive the average tax rate decreases as income increases, and for proportional taxes the average tax rate is constant as income increases.
