In statistical matter throughout this issue,

• dots (‖) indicate that the data are not available;

• a dash (—) indicates that the figure is zero or less than half the final digit shown, or that the item does not exist;

• a single dot (.) indicates decimals;

• a comma (,) separates thousands and millions;

• “billion” means a thousand million; and “trillion” means a thousand billion;

• a short dash (–) is used between years or months (for example, 1998–99 or January—June) to indicate a total of the years or months inclusive of the beginning and ending years or months;

• a slash (/) is used between years (for example, 1998/99) to indicate a fiscal year or a crop year; and

• components of tables may not add to totals shown because of rounding.

The term “country,” as used in this publication, may not refer to a territorial entity that is a state as understood by international law and practice; the term may also cover some territorial entities that are not states but for which statistical data are maintained and provided internationally on a separate and independent basis.
