World Development Indicators is the World Bank’s premier compilation of cross-country comparable data on development. The database contains more than 1,200 time series indicators for 214 economies and more than 30 country groups, with data for many indicators going back more than 50 years. World Development Indicators 2013 is organized around six themes—world view, people, environment, economy, states and markets, and global links. Each
section includes an introduction, a set of six stories highlighting regional trends, a table of the most relevant and popular indicators, and an index to the full set of tables and indicators. World view also reviews progress toward the Millennium
Development Goals
