I imagine angry notes like "World Bank stats are flawed" etc. But these are the numers world mass media use to compare countries - we can't do anything about it. Here I ranked the Eastern European countries. Hope - you do not mind if I include Turkey and Caucasian countries here.

Data are from the end of 2003. In brackets - ranking among the countries of the world.

CIA Worldfactbook si more accurate and credible in my opinion although not 100% updated

I don't know for other countries, but 1/2 of informations about Bosnia and Herzegovina in Worldfactbook is not correct.

Not to mention this is 2003, we're in 2005.

I already have the Slovenian stats for 2004..

GDP per capita real - 16,112
GDP growth over 2003 - 4.6%
GDP per capita real (2003) - 13,900

GDP growth predicted for 2005 - 3.7%
GDP growth predicted for 2006 - over 4%

(source: www.rtvslo.si, EU, SURS - Statistical Office of RS)

The World Bank statistics differ from our official ones for quite a bit, wonder why. I don't know the PPP values for 2004, but I think they're around 19,000 - 21,000..

CIA WFB is sheer nonsense. Economic information is incorrect/outdated about 95% of time. I'm sure other things are too, I just never bothered to check.

I don't know which GDP estimates are right (yours or WBs), but the real GDP per capita you have is, in any case, correct. It's amazing; Slovenia has a totally Western standard of living.

The 2004 stats I posted aren't estimates, at least www.stat.si doesn't say they are..

 

[salvius]

^ I meant:

GDP growth predicted for 2005 - 3.7% i.e., estimates for this year. WB doesn't have more accurate information yet for that period anywhere on the website (I think).

Oh, that.. heh, that info was posted on www.rtvslo.si and is taken from the EU.
