FOREWORD
1. Purpose and Scope
The Economic Intelligence Statistical Handbook,
1968 provides statistics on the economies of the
Communist countries and the countries of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) -including
France. The content and format have been revised
to make possible more explicit comparisons and
new tables and graphics have been added.
In general, the data in the Handbook are for 1955,
1960, and 1962-67. A summary table is presented
for European NATO, Eastern Europe, each of the
Communist countries, selected NATO countries,
India, and Japan. The data for Mongolia, because
of their scarcity, are presented in a summary table
but are not included in the individual commodity
or aggregative tables. The graphics are designed
for use as visual aids. Footnotes have been used
liberally to give definitions, exceptions, and meth-
odology. Footnotes to the commodity tables give
more detailed definitions of the data than those ap-
pearing for the commodities on the summary table
for each country. Therefore, the footnotes to the
commodity tables should be referred to when a
complete description of the data shown is required.
2. Rounding of the Totals
In each table the data for the individual countries
have been rounded consistently. Because of the
limitations in the cumulative data, the totals have
been rounded, with some exceptions, to three sig-
nificant digits. In general, zeros appearing after
the last nonzero number following the decimal
point are not significant but are used merely for
consistency in presentation.
Totals are not presented if missing data are be-
lieved to represent a significant part of the total.
In general, data are not given for countries for
which a significant amount of data is not available.
Because of rounding, components may not add to
the totals shown.
3. Symbols
The abbreviation N.A. (not available) is used
when information about the existence of the data
or the magnitude of the data is not available, and
the abbreviation Negl. (negligible) is used when
the magnitude of the data is less than half of the
final unit employed for each table. The metric
system is used throughout.
4. Classification of Data
The overall classification of the Handbook is
SECRET/NO FOREIGN DISSEM. The unclassi-
fied data, indicated by an asterisk (*), may be
official data of the country cited or may be un-
classified estimates of this Office. Tables in which
all of the data are unclassified have been identified
accordingly. Classified data, however, frequently
occur on the reverse of the page, and, therefore,
caution should be exercised if pages are removed
from this publication.
The data given for the most recent years are
frequently preliminary and subject to revision. The
data for the Communist countries are estimates of
this Office, official data from the country cited, or
estimates made by other organizations. The data
for the NATO and other Free World countries are
from publications of the United Nations and the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and De-
velopment (OECD), are from unclassified publica-
tions of other international organizations or individ-
ual countries of the Free World, or are estimates
of this Office.
Unless otherwise indicated, the term Communist
Countries includes the USSR, the countries of
Eastern Europe, Communist China, North Korea,
North Vietnam, Albania, Cuba, and Yugoslavia; the

For the individual European NATO countries, the ratios for converting gross national product (GYP) in national currencies at
1966 prices into 1966 US dollars on the basis of T'S purchasing power equivalents are derived from the 1950 ratios in Milton Gilbert
and Associates, Comparative National Products and Price Levels, DEEC, Paris, 1958, using the geometric mean of European and US
weighted ratios. These 195)) ratios were moved to 1966 by applying the following factor: the derived price indexes for each European
country for 1950-66 divided by a derived price index for the US for 19:50-66. These price indexes were derived for each country by
dividing the growth of GNI' in current prices by the growth of GNP in constant prices. The ratios thus obtained were. applied to the
GNI' values, given in the national currencies in 1966 price. The total GNP for the European NATO countries is based on the esti-
mate that the total GNP of the individual countries shown represents 95 percent of the total European, NATO GNP, which is the
approximate relationship derived from other source.. The values shown for the Communist countries, except for North Korea, have
been calculated in a manner which makes them reasonably comparable with the values shown fo- the NATO countries.
The base years are 1955 and 1960, .respectively. Ilatc,s of growth are derived from unrounded data.

US market prices. Total Soviet gross national product (GNP) and the various end uses were converted to
dollars not by the official rate of exchange but by the average purchasing power ratio of the dollar and the ruble
calculated from actual or estimated prices paid for various goods and services in the two economies. For GNP
as a whole and for each end use component of GNP, these average ratios (ruble-dollar ratios) were estimated by
weighting individual price ratios by both US and Soviet expenditure weights. The geometric mean of the US
weighted and Soviet weighted ratios was then used for the conversion of Soviet values into dollars.
The magnitudes for the Soviet end use components were calculated to measure quantity of output com-
pared with the US but not the cost in resources. The share of total economic resources devoted to a particular
end use or the share of total output originating in an individual sector (for example, agriculture or industry) in
the USSR should be measured in internal ruble prices and costs. Agriculture alone, for example, uses 36 percent
of the civilian labor force, or 43 million people, as a result of the inefficiency of that sector in the USSR.
The adjusted end uses of GNP are defined as follows:
(1) Consumption comprises personal expenditures for goods and services for all purposes and noninvest-
ment outlays by government for goods and services for health and education. (The personal consumption
expenditures for the US are $465.9 billion.)
(2) Investment is defined (a) for both the US and the USSR as the sum of expenditures for gross private
domestic investment; for public construction other than that for defense facilities; for equipment purchased by
the government except that for defense; and for defense stockpiling and defense-production expansion; and
(b) for the US, as also including expenditures by state and local government for development of atomic energy.
(The gross private domestic investment for the US is $118.0 billion.)
(3) Defense as a component of GNP comprises government purchases of goods and services for the
military services, federal government expenditures on atomic energy development, and outlays on space
research and technology. Defense excludes stockpiling activities and net military grants for foreign military
assistance. (The federal government purchases of goods and services for national defense, excluding purchases
by NASA, for the US are $60.5 billion.)
(4) Administration as a component of GNP is the residual left after all current expenditures for national
defense, health, and education and all capital expenditures are subtracted from government purchases of goods
and services. (There is no equivalent category for the unadjusted data for the US.)
(5) Net exports and foreign military assistance are shown only for the US. The equivalent category for
the USSR cannot be precisely measured but is thought to be included in the value of aggregate GNP.
b The sum of the end use components of Soviet GNP, valued in dollars, does not equal the dollar value of
aggregate GNP, because of the use of average ruble-dollar ratios in converting from ruble values to dollar
values. Nevertheless, the individual end use components were not adjusted to agree with the total, since the
US-USSR comparisons shown are believed to give the best available description of relative size.

Because of the well-known difficulties in using Soviet prices as a measure of resource burden, the shares of GNP in this table
are based on GNP at factor cost. In calculating GNP at factor cost, 1955 end use weights have been revised from a market price
basis to a factor cost basis by subtracting turnover taxes and profits and adding amortization charges, implicit interest costs, agricultural
land rent, and subsidies. These revised weights are then moved over time by indexes of the value of the various end uses in constant
market prices.

The individual series for grass ratio nal product [( \ I') for the various countries are acceptable when the data arc not to be used
for international comparisons. The series are inadequate for international comparisons because they arc based on the conversion of
GNP into a single currency using rates of exchange at par value. Such international comparisons are of doubtful value because the
rates do not adequately indicate relative purchasing power. The more correct data for the majority of the countries for comparison

* An asterisk indicates that the data are unclassified.
The indexes of industrial production are estimates of this office-constructed as nearly as possible on the same basis as indexes
for Western countries-or other calculations accepted by this Office. The indexes include manufacturing, mining, and public utilities.
The indexes for agricultural production are estimates of this Office-based on the gross production of crops minus seed, waste, and feed
(including imported grain), and livestock products (including changes in livestock numbers) using FAO/OECD Western European
regional price weights (1952-56 average).
b The base years are 1955 and 1960, respectively.

genera], the suln of the value of output of all induArial enterprises. "fhe definition of industry in Comnnrnist countries includes not
only manufacturing, mining, and public utilities, as in most Western definitions of industry, but also certain other activities (varying
from country to country).

a Indexes of gross value for individual commodities and branches are aggregated by 1960 value-added weights. The three sectors
covered-materials, machinery, and nondurable consumer goods-constitute 50.2 percent, 30.4 percent, and 19.4 percent, respectively,
of the value-added weights for total industrial production. This index is as comparable as data will permit with the index of US
industrial production of the US Federal Reserve Board.

? Data differ from those presented in the previous Handbook because of a revision in 1966 of the oflicisa time series on gross fixed
investment. Soviet publication of the revised time series has been limited to major categories of investment in 1950, 1958, and 1960-66;
other figures appearing in the table are estimates and are so identified.
i, Data are expressed in investment prices of I July 1955 adjusted to reflect subsequent introduction of the following c'ianges:
new unit valuations (19:56), reduction of overhead cost corms (195%), reduction of equipment installation prices (1959), and reduction
of prices for project-survey- work and of unit valuations for some types of construction-installation work (1962).
Estimated to the nearest hundred million rubles.
d Preliminary.
Rounded to the nearest hundred million rubles.
' Excluding the construction industry. Investment figures for individual branches of industry are estimates in all years except
1960, 1964, and 1965.

Western market economics. For example, the Soviet measure excludes the value of services and overstates the contribution of industry
by including all indirect taxes.

To achieve as high a degree of comparability as possible, adjustments have been made to the
basic data available for both the US and USSR. For example, the ruble data, by mission, shown
here differ somewhat from the comparable 1967 data shown in Table 17, p. 20. All expenditures for
research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT & E) activities associated with military programs
as well as expenditures for both civilian and military space programs have been aggregated and are
included under RDTE & S (RDTE and space programs). All expenditures for nuclear warheads
have been aggregated and are included under "Other." All expenditures for military assistance and
civil defense programs have been excluded.
h Planned total obligational authority (TOA). It should be noted that the pattern of expenditures
shown for the US is not representative of the pre-Vietnam period.
? These data for the USSR are reviewed and updated several times each year. Therefore, if they
are to be used for more than general background purposes, the Office of Strategic Research should be
consulted to insure that they represent the latest available information. The Soviet expenditures
presented in dollars are measures of Soviet programs computed on the basis of US factor costs and do
not measure program costs as seen by Soviet planners.

Thee data are reviewed and updated several tines each year. Therefore. if they are to be used for more than general background
purposes, the Office of Strategic M -search altuuld be consulted to insure that they represent the latest available information. The esti-
mates conceptmdly include all outlays for personnel ai,l other opcratinK costs, procurement of all ha- Iware used by the military -stab-
lishment (including nuclear warheads), construction of facilities, military cut([ intolear research aid development activities, and all
space programs but exclude military assistance programs. -[cuts of the funds required to cover the:;' expenditures come from sources
other than the budget category labeled "I )efensc" by tho USSR. Most of the figures in the table are derived from detailed calcul_tions
of the estimated size and cost to (itpluy and operate individual program elements of the Soviet tnilita. y establishment. Tic underlying
calculations produce numbers that suggest a high degree of accuracy. In fact, however, these estimates are sabjt,ct to considerable un-
certaint.y and should not be considered as precise measure. Nevertheless, the estimates are as accurate and as comprehensive is the
data available during -[arch 1968 permitted.
Expressed in 1955 prices,
Including expenditures for tactical aviation.
t Including expenditures for naval aviation.
Expenditures for research, development, test, and evaluation for all military and nuclear energy programs as well as all expenditures
for military and civilian space programs. These estimates are derived from analysis of published Soviet financial data and do not
represent (Ietailed calculations of the estimated tnaguitude and cost of individual programs.
( Expenditures for reserve training, militarized security forces, retirement pay, and paramilitary training, in addition to command
and support for the active military establishment.
