There is also a Data Abstract and Summary available. The World Data CD-ROM contains World Bank data for over 200 countries. It has more than 700 timeseries on national accounts, balance of payments, trade, external debt and finance, social and natural resources, including the current Social Indicators of Development, World Debt Tables, and World Tables data. National accounts data start in 1960, social indicators from 1965, and the reminder from 1970.
Periodicity is annual, with data supplied through the most recent estimates.
It features glossary display, stored queries, hierarchical selection screens and hotlinks that combine data with text. Javelin, a powerful timeseries modelling program is also provided. This publication supplies current descriptions of the economies of World Bank borrowing countries. The software generates a series of screens, each with a menu of choices. This technical note shows how to go through the various screens and extract the desired time series.
