Richest Poorest Countries Due to Low GDP Per Capita Scores
The world average GDP per capital in 2008 was $10,400. All 100 countries found in the scrollable list to the left beat that global benchmark.
Some of the world's richest countries in terms of GDP are also among the poorest when GDP per capita is calculated. Consider the following examples:
101. Brazil (population 198,739,269) ... US$10,100
102. South Africa ... (49,052,489) … $10,000
108. Colombia (45,644,023) … $8,900
114. Thailand (65,905,410) … $8,500
130. China (1,338,612,968) … $6,000
166. India (1,166,079,217) … $2,800.
The People's Republic of China finished with the third largest economy in 2008, but with the world's largest population, the average Chinese citizen places a comparatively poor 130th in terms of GDP when calculated per person.
India attained 12th place in GDP at the country level but 166th for GDP per capita.
