[a] The savings and investment rates are exagerated because GDP is significantly underestimated as well as reported at factor cost rather than at market prices.
[b] Private and official transfers are not disaggregated for 1984-91, and all transfers for these years are recorded as private.
[c] Includes short-term debt and IMF credit.
[d] Based on (re)scheduled debt service.
