Guy, follow the link, it says that Anambra is the 18th largest in Nigeria, not 4th as stated in the screen shot. I am agreeing with your viewpoint.

OkoNDOoBo:
I guess u didn't read the shot, even the screen shot quote said they don't have reliable data so why bring this as a fact in the first place, a state that didn't publish its IGR for 2yrs now, now claiming 4th biggest economy

The rankings were developed using NBS data. NBS does not have the data online, you will have to request for it. The survey of the states have only been conducted once and were released in 2012.

OkoNDOoBo:
oga post NBS sources that is the only credible source for anything that has to do with statistics

States were ranked for their ability to manage their debts and it was based on the ratio of their external debt to their GDP and their internal debt to their internally generated revenue. This provides a standardised way in which the state governments can be easily compared.

Debt management refers to strategies state use to manage their debt. Effective public debt management is the cornerstone of financial stability and sustainable fiscal policy. A government's debt portfolio can generate substantial risk to its balance sheet, with potential to undermine key development objectives. States therefore need capable debt management offices to design medium-term strategies, which appropriately balance cost and risk, and execute financing transactions efficiently.

State governments should seek to ensure that both the level and rate of growth in their public debt is fundamentally sustainable, and can be serviced under a wide range of circumstances while meeting cost and risk objectives. Sovereign debt managers share fiscal and monetary policy advisors' concerns that public sector indebtedness remains on a sustainable path and that a credible strategy is in place to reduce excessive levels of debt.

The rankings for 2016 is our first ever compilation and looks at the performances of the states during 2015. We used 34 different socioeconomic indicators which were then grouped into 7 major categories to arrive at our final assessment. The categories include Business Environment, Economy, Education, Financial Health, Healthcare, Living Standards and Wealth Generation and Distribution.

We sourced our data from a number of public sources including several government agencies and NGOs. By applying big data analytic techniques to the data, we can present deeper insights to make up for gaps which would have hindered us from getting a clearer picture of how well the states are performing in carrying out their duties to the people.
