          The Presidents and Directors General of Statistics
        
        
          of the Community of Portuguese-speaking
        
        
          Countries (CPLP) gathered in Luanda on 22 and 23
        
        
          June 2012, have considered of great interest
        
        
          republishing "CPLP Statistics", edited for the first
        
        
          time in 1998 and subsequently in 2004,
        
        
          committing to a third edition in 2012.
        
        
          The 2012 edition of " CPLP Statistics" represents
        
        
          the fulfillment of a collective decision that not
        
        
          only updates statistics published in previous
        
        
          editions, as it provides more statistical
        
        
          information, including both the previous and the
        
        
          new areas observed. The aim is thus to provide a
        
        
          better understanding of the CPLP member
        
        
          countries - Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-
        
        
          Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, Sao Tome and
        
        
          Principe and Timor-Leste - based on official
        
        
          statistics. In most of the tables provided, the
        
        
          reference period of the information is placed
        
        
          between the years 2003 to 2010.
        
        
          The information provided in the form of data and
        
        
          statistical indicators is complemented by analysis
        
        
          of texts and graphics in different themes. The data
        
        
          analysis is organised by the nineteen chapters
        
        
          featuring the various aspects of the areas of
        
        
          population, territory and environment, socio-
        
        
          economic activities and national accounts.

          focal points have provided and / or confirmed the

          chapter "General Data" of the publication, as well
