List of countries by GNI (nominal, Atlas method) per capita
Encyclopedia
This is a list of countries by Gross National Income
per capita
in 2010 at nominal values, according to the Atlas Method
, an indicator of income developed by the World Bank
. The GNI per capita is the dollar value of a country’s final income in a year, divided by its population. It reflects the average income of a country’s citizens.
Knowing a country’s GNI per capita is a good first step toward understanding the country’s economic strengths and needs, as well as the general standard of living
enjoyed by the average citizen. A country’s GNI per capita tends to be closely linked with other indicators that measure the social, economic, and environmental
well-being of the country and its people. For example, generally people living in countries with higher GNI per capita tend to have longer life expectancies, higher literacy rates, better access to safe water, and lower infant mortality rates.
Figures in italics are for 2009 or 2008. All data are in United States dollars. Non-sovereign entities or other special groupings are marked in italics.
