List of countries by GNI (PPP) per capita
This is a list of countries ranked by their Gross National Income (GNI) at purchasing power parity (PPP) per capita. GNI represents the total income accruing to a country's residents, including income earned abroad, after deducting income payments to non-residents. PPP values are used to adjust for differences in the relative prices of goods and services across countries, allowing for a more accurate comparison of living standards.
The figures presented here are typically expressed in international dollars, a hypothetical currency unit used to equalize purchasing power across countries. Data is generally sourced from international organizations such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the United Nations (UN).
It is important to note that these figures are estimates and can vary depending on the data source, methodology, and year of measurement. Furthermore, GNI per capita, while a useful indicator, does not fully capture the distribution of income within a country, nor does it reflect other important aspects of well-being such as health, education, and environmental quality. As such, GNI per capita should be considered alongside other economic and social indicators for a more comprehensive understanding of a country's development level.
The list typically includes sovereign states and dependent territories. Rankings can fluctuate over time due to economic growth, exchange rate movements, and revisions in data and methodologies.
