Revealed: These Are Richest Countries In The World, 2024

People

How can we measure the economic success of a country? A classic measure is GDP per capita, which shows individual economic prosperity. However, comparing countries solely based on this metric doesn’t give us the whole picture. This is because the cost of living and inflation rates can vary significantly between countries.

A better way to compare living standards across countries is by using Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) as it considers local costs and inflation rates. Some countries may have a higher GDP per capita due to being tax havens, which can be misleading. Hence, using GDP per capita PPP in the 2023 ranking can help us identify the poorest countries in the world more accurately. Therefore, these are the poorest countries in the world ranked by GDP per capita PPP. If you want to learn about the poorest countries in the world, you can refer to this report, which lists the countries with the lowest GDP per capita in 2024.

This method of measuring a country’s economic output, known as GDP per capita adjusted by purchasing power parity (PPP), allows for a more accurate comparison of living standards across different countries. By taking into account the fact that the value of a dollar can vary significantly between countries, we can see how countries perform differently based on this measure. Below, we provide an analysis of how different countries fare according to this metric.

Luxembourg has a thriving financial sector that contributes to 25% of its GDP. It is also considered the world’s richest country in terms of GDP per capita adjusted by purchasing power parity (PPP). With a population of only 660,000 people, the nation is known for its favorable tax policies that attract foreign investment, making it a tax haven. Meanwhile, Singapore takes the title of the richest country in Asia, with a GDP per capita of $133,108. This is due to its global role in finance, trade, and tourism.

Despina Wilson
I am a senior editor and data journalist at CEOWORLD magazine. My job involves using infographics to report on news topics related to business and policy, with a global perspective. I hold a master's degree in journalism and have worked for newspapers and reporting projects in both the US and the UK, giving me a unique transatlantic perspective. I believe that data can enhance coverage of all news topics. As a contributor, I plan cover a wide range of issues, such as gender equality, climate change, labor, and immigration, using relevant statistics and insightful visualizations.
