Countries by GNI Per Capita

What GNI Per Person Measures

GNI Per Person is a key economic indicator tracked by the World Bank. It quantifies a fundamental aspect of national economic performance and is widely used by economists, policymakers, and international organizations to compare economic conditions across countries. Changes in this metric can signal shifts in trade policy, industrial output, currency valuation, or overall economic health.

Why This Ranking Matters

Understanding GNI Per Person rankings helps contextualize a country's position in the global economy. Nations at the top of this ranking often have structural advantages — established financial systems, diversified industries, or favorable trade agreements — while those at the bottom may face challenges related to conflict, institutional instability, or geographic isolation.

Global Range

Values range from 260 (Burundi) to 145.2K (Bermuda) — a 558-fold difference across 200 countries.

Regional Patterns

European countries dominate this ranking, holding 12 of the top 20 positions. This strong regional concentration suggests shared economic, geographic, or policy factors that drive higher values across the continent.

The distribution is highly right-skewed — a few countries have exceptionally high values that pull the average well above the median. The median (7.8K) is far more representative than the mean (19.1K).

Notable Outliers

Bermuda holds a significant lead over Norway, with a 48% gap between first and second place. While several countries cluster near the top, the leader's margin is notable.
