Notes

IMF has divided the countries worldwide into Advanced Economy, Emerging Market and Developing Economies. The division way is mainly based on the following three factors: (1) income per capita; (2) export diversity (for instance, the GDP per capita of the petroleum exporting countries are very high, however, 70 % of the exported products are petroleum, they therefore do not belong to advanced economy); and (3) involvement extent into the global financial market. The investigation time for the division is relatively long, and will not be subject to modification easily except otherwise important event takes place like Latvia’s joining the Euro Zone.
