</ul>GDP at purchaser's prices is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies not included in the value of the products. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources. Data are in current U.S. dollars. Dollar figures for GDP are converted from domestic currencies using single year official exchange rates. For a few countries where the official exchange rate does not reflect the rate effectively applied to actual foreign exchange transactions, an alternative conversion factor is used.

This memorandum is based on discussions held in Tehran in January and February 1977 and in May 1977. Iran's present economic conditions reflect an unusual combination of affluence and structural under-development. Per capita income is fairly high (over US$1,900 in 1976/77) and may be expected to continue to rise over the coming years. Iran's high per capita income, however, is closely linked to the oil sector. The windfall improvements of oil terms of trade in 1973 and 1974 resulted in a tripling of GNP (measured in current dollars) between 1972/73 and 1974/75, and enabled Iran nearly to quadruple its imports of goods and services over the same period. Iran's current account of the balance of payments, previously in deficit, has been in considerable surplus since 1974, and the capital account has been showing large outflows instead of the traditional inflows. Despite much progress over the past two decades, Iran remains in many respects firmly part of the third world, both in terms of industrial structure and the level of its social indicators. Iran's present industrial structure has oil contributing nearly three-eighths of gross domestic product, representing about 11 percent. Even when the oil sector is excluded, the share of manufacturing industry in Iran's GDP rises only to 17 percent. Less than one percent of Iran's exports are made up of manufactures; agriculture, where 37 percent of the labor force is engaged, is characterized by such low productivity that it contributes only 9 percent of GDP. Iran's social indicators, for the year 1970, compare adversely with those countries whose per capita income is about the same as in Iran (e.g. Yugoslavia), and are roughly at the same level as in Egypt whose per capita income is only a small fraction of that of Iran.
