Note: NA = estimates are available in range only.

a. World Bank Atlas methodology; per capita GNI (gross national income, formerly GNP) figures are in 2006 U.S. dollars. 

b. Countries are eligible for IDA on the basis of (a) relative poverty and (b) lack of creditworthiness. The operational cutoff for IDA eligibility for fiscal 2008 is a 2006 GNI per capita of US$1,065, using Atlas methodology. To receive IDA resources, countries must also meet tests of performance. In exceptional circumstances, IDA extends eligibility temporarily to countries that are above the operational cutoff and are undertaking major adjustment efforts but are not creditworthy for IBRD lending. An exception has been made for small island economies. 

c. An exception to the GNI per capita operational cutoff for IDA eligibility ($1,065 for fiscal 2008) has been made for some small island economies, which otherwise would have little or no access to Bank Group assistance because they lack creditworthiness. For such countries, IDA funding is considered case by case for the financing of projects and adjustment programs designed to strengthen creditworthiness. 

d. Loans/credits in nonaccrual status as of June 30, 2007. General information on countries with loans/credits in nonaccrual status is available from the Credit Risk Department in Finance.
