The 2010 Annual Report issued by the Ministry of Finance and Planning is a comprehensive review of sector-wise economic development, economic reforms, foreign investment and financial statements (among others). It is an impressive document that highlights and compares core statistics from 2005 and 2010.
The particular index I was looking at (computer literacy rate) seemed to have a typo – the number quoted in page 13 states 75% in 2010, however, it is quoted as 20.3% in page 22 with 75% being the projected rate for 2016. Also on page 22 access to telecommunication is reported to have surpassed the 2016 target of achieving 100%, as the percentage reported for 2010 is 100.8%. Perhaps it is an addition of the fixed and mobile subscribers. Irrespective, the report contains useful numbers, information and analysis such as access to basic infrastructure, the state of welfare and social security, achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and so on.
