Six of the 10 countries with the largest urban populations are in Asia. Urbanisation in Bangladesh has been among the fastest in the world (5.6 per cent during 1950-2000). The only African country in the top 10 list, Nigeria, has also urbanized very rapidly in the past 5 decades (World  4  BIS Review 60/2006  Urbanisation Prospects, 2001).
The share of Greek exports of goods in world trade has risen by 30 per cent since 2010. The current account, which reached a deficit of 15 per cent of GDP in 2008, has moved into surplus in the first eight months of 2013, and we expect a surplus for the year as a whole.
