Dear epthk,

For each of the countries on your list I was able to locate ad spend
figures for the following years: 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003. Would
that, although I have not found 2004 figures, be useful too?

Regards,
Scriptor

Yes, those years would be helpful though I would apreciate having 2004
as well.  Seems like it must be available.  In case you are answer my
other question as well, this is what I am trying to do:  I want to
form a chart that shows GDP, Total ad spend, and Internet ad spend for
the last 4-5 years.  It will show that Total ad spend for each of
these markets is growing ony slightly as a percent of GDP, while
Internet ad spend is growing a ton and, thus, at the expense of other
ad medium. . . I working on a chart to show that relationship.  Hope
that helps!

Dear epthk,

I am not sure if the 1999-2003 data alone will be satisfying for you.
Therefore, I'd like you to have a look at the figures. Then, you can
decide if you'd like me to post it as an answer.

In addition, here are population figures provided by the OECD (PDF file):

I'll close this out and pay the $50, but would prefer to pay you the
$100 plus 50 to answer my new question.  If you don't want to do that,
just let me know.  I'll close this out and pay.

Dear epthk,

Thank you very much for pointing me to your new question.
Unfortunately, I can't answer it. I tried to find the data, but my
search remained fruitless. Therefore, I will leave that new assignment
to my fellow researchers.

I would like to add that the ad spend figures above derive from this source:

International Newspaper Marketing Association: World Advertising
Research Center - Country By Country Advertising Spending

Very best regards,
Scriptor
