Notes :
This table presents data for countries included in Parts I and II of the DAC list of aid recipients (OECD-DAC 2007a). The denominator conventionally used when comparing official development assistance and total debt service to the size of the economy is GNI, not GDP (see Definitions of statistical terms). GDP is used here, however, to allow comparability throughout the table. With few exceptions the denominators produce similar results.
