ANNEX VII(B) OF THE AGREEMENT ON SUBSIDIES AND COUNTERVAILING MEASURES  
UPDATING GNP PER CAPITA FOR MEMBERS LISTED IN ANNEX VII( b) AS FORESEEN IN  
PARAGRAPH 10.1 OF THE DOHA MINISTERIAL DECISION AND IN ACCORDANCE  
WITH THE METHODOLOGY IN G/SCM/38  
Note by the Secretariat  
Addendum  
In paragraph 10.1 of the Doha Ministerial Decision on Implementation -Related Issues and Concerns 
(document WT/MIN(01)/17, p ara. 10.1) Ministers:  
"Agree[d] that Annex VII(b) to the Agreement on Subsidies and 
Countervailing  Measures includes the Members that are listed therein until their GNP 
per capita reaches US$1,000 in constant 1990 dollars for three consecutive years. This 
decision will enter into effect upon the adoption by the Committee on Subsidies and 
Countervailing Measures of an appropriate methodolog y for calculating constant 
1990 dollars. If, however, the Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures 
does not re ach a consensus agreement on an appropriate methodology by 
1 January  2003, the methodology proposed by the Chairman of the Committee set forth 
in G/SCM/38, Appendix 2 shall be applied. A Member shall not leave Annex  VII(b) so 
long as its GNP per capita in current dollars has not reached US$1,000 based upon the 
most recent data from the World Bank."  
Pursuant to this paragraph, as of 1 January 2003, the methodology set forth in document G/SCM/38, 
Appendix 2 applies.  
As foreseen in paragraph 10.1 of the Doha M inisterial Decision on Implementation -Related  Issues 
and Concerns and in application of the methodology in G/SCM/38, the Secretariat informs the 
Committee of updated calculations reflecting: (i)  GNI1 per capita in constant 1990 dollars covering 
the three most recent years for which data are available ( 2018-2020)2; and (ii)  GNI per capita in 
current dollars for the year 2020. 
 
1 The World Bank data series formerly identified as Gross National Product ("GNP") is now published as 
Gross National Income ("GNI"). This change reflects the implementation of the System of Nati onal Accounts  1993 
("SNA 93"). Although the underlying concept s are different (GNP being a measure of product, and GNI being a 
measure of income), the values calculated are the same.  
2 Figures for 1990 -1999 are as already contained in G/SCM/38. As agreed in G/SCM/38, step 3, values of 
GNI per capita at constant 1990 dollars for the period 1990 - 1999 are not modified with subse quent revisions 
of the series. To derive GNI per capita at constant 1990 dollars for 2000, the growth rates for 2000 over 1999 
at constant 1995 dollars, derived as f oreseen in G/SCM/38 table  B, have been applied to the 1999 GNI per capita 
values in constant 1990 dollars, as set forth in G/SCM/38, table  C. Similarly, the growth rates of  2001 over 2000, 
2002 over 2001, 2003 over 2002, 2004 over 2003, 2005 over 2004, 200 6 over 2005, 2007 over 2006 , 2008 
over 2007 , 2009 over 2008, 2010 over 2009, 2011 over 2010, 2012 over 2011, 2013 over 2012, 2014 over 
2013, 2015 over 2014 , 2016 over 2015 , 2017 over 2016 , 2018 over 2017 , 2019 over 2018 , 2020 over 2019 , 
and 2021 over 2020  have been applied to data for 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 , 2007, 2008, 
2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013,  2014, 2015,  2016, 2017,  2018,  2019,  and 2020  respectively.  G/SCM/110/Add.20
