GDP per capita is calculated by dividing GDP by midyear population. GDP (Gross Domestic
Product) is the total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country in a
given year. In Nominal method, market exchange rates are used for conversion. To make
meaningful comparison, PPP is used to compare economies and incomes of people by
adjusting for differences in prices in different countries.
This list contains projected GDP per capita of 191 Countries/Economies in current prices (U.S.
dollars) of year 2018 and 2022. Data is based on projection by IMF outlook October 2017.
GDP of Pakistan and Egypt is missing in nominal methods. Both figure has been calculated by
interpolation.
GDP per capita of world in 2018 is forecasted at $11,727 its GDP per capita (PPP) is projected
at $18,089. Total population of 191 economies is 7.461 billions. Per capita GDP of world is
1.54 times greater in PPP terms compare to nominal terms.
Luxembourg and Qatar would be the richest economy in nominal and PPP, respectively. South
Sudan and Central African Republic would be the poorest economy in nominal and PPP,
respectively. In exchange rates methods, Per capita wealth of richest economy Luxembourg
would be 10.24 times greater than world average, while poorest economy South Sudan would
be 47.67 times poorer than world average. In PPP, 1st ranked Qatar would be 7.11 times
richer and lowest ranked Central African Republic would be 25.62 times poorer.
In nominal data, only Luxembourg would have gdp per capita of above one lakh US dollar.
There would be 17 economies which has per capita income above $50,000. 44 has above
$20,000 and 72 has above $10,000. 66 economies has per capita income greater than world's
average. Eleven economies would be above five times more richer than world. 30 poorest
would be poorer by more than ten times.
In ppp data, Qatar, Macao SAR and Luxembourg would have gdp per capita of above one lakh
US dollar. There would be 23 economies which has per capita income above $50,000. 70 has
above $20,000 and 111 has above $10,000. 78 economies has per capita income greater than
world's average. Four economies would be above five times more richer than world. 15 poorest
would be poorer by more than ten times.
There are much differences in ranking of economies between these two basis. Egypt is highest
gainer in ppp rank compare to its nominal rank. Rank of Iran is up by 38 place from 135th in
nominal to 97th in ppp. Next in line comes Islamic Republic of Iran (+35), Uzbekistan (+31)
Azerbaijan (+29) and Saudi Arabia (+27). Vanuatu is biggest looser in ppp ranking, down by 35
rank from 126th to 161th. Next in line comes Marshall Islands (-34), Palau (-32), Solomon
Islands (-30) and and Micronesia (-29). 8 economies has same rank in both methods.
