SUBSIDIES
Annex VII(b) of the Agreement on Subsidies and
Countervailing Measures
Updating GNP per capita for Members listed in Annex
VII(b) as foreseen
in Paragraph 10.1 of the Doha Ministerial Decision and in
accordance with the methodology in _G/SCM/38
Note by
the Secretariat
Addendum
In
paragraph 10.1 of the Doha Ministerial Decision on Implementation-Related
Issues and Concerns (document _WT/MIN(01)/17,
para. 10.1) Ministers:
"Agree[d] that Annex VII(b) to the Agreement on Subsidies and
Countervailing Measures includes the Members that are listed therein until
their GNP per capita reaches US$1,000 in constant 1990 dollars for three
consecutive years. This decision will enter into effect upon the adoption by
the Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures of an appropriate
methodology for calculating constant 1990 dollars. If, however, the
Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures does not reach a consensus
agreement on an appropriate methodology by 1 January 2003, the
methodology proposed by the Chairman of the Committee set forth in _G/SCM/38,
Appendix 2 shall be applied. A Member shall not leave Annex VII(b) so long as
its GNP per capita in current dollars has not reached US$1,000 based upon the
most recent data from the World Bank."
Pursuant
to this paragraph, as of 1 January 2003, the methodology set forth in document _G/SCM/38,
Appendix 2 applies.
As foreseen in paragraph 10.1 of
the Doha Ministerial Decision on Implementation-Related Issues and Concerns and
in application of the methodology in _G/SCM/38,
the Secretariat informs the Committee of updated calculations reflecting:
(i) GNI[1]
per capita in constant 1990 dollars covering the three most recent years for
which data are available (2021-2023)[2];
and (ii) GNI per capita in current dollars for the year 2023.

Accordingly,
Annex VII(b) to the Agreement on Subsidies and

listed therein until their GNP per capita reaches US$1,000 in constant 1990
dollars for three consecutive years: Congo, Ghana, Honduras, Kenya, Nicaragua,
Nigeria, Pakistan, and Zimbabwe.
__________
[1] The World Bank data series formerly identified as Gross National
Product ("GNP") is now published as Gross National Income
("GNI"). This change reflects the implementation of the System of
National Accounts 1993 ("SNA 93"). Although the underlying
concepts are different (GNP being a measure of product, and GNI being a measure
of income), the values calculated are the same.
[2] Figures for 1990-1999 are as already
contained in _G/SCM/38. As agreed
in _G/SCM/38, step 3,
values of GNI per capita at constant 1990 dollars for the period 1990-1999 are
not modified with subsequent revisions of the series. To derive GNI per capita
at constant 1990 dollars for 2000, the growth rates for 2000 over 1999 at
constant 1995 dollars, derived as foreseen in _G/SCM/38
table B, have been applied to the 1999 GNI per capita values in constant
1990 dollars, as set forth in _G/SCM/38,
table C. Similarly, the growth rates of 2001 over 2000, 2002 over 2001, 2003
over 2002, 2004 over 2003, 2005 over 2004, 2006 over 2005, 2007 over 2006, 2008
over 2007, 2009 over 2008, 2010 over 2009, 2011 over 2010, 2012 over 2011, 2013
over 2012, 2014 over 2013, 2015 over 2014, 2016 over 2015, 2017 over 2016, 2018
over 2017, 2019 over 2018, 2020 over 2019, 2021 over 2020, 2022 over 2021, and
2023 over 2022 have been applied to data for 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004,
2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017,
2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, respectively.
