New Discussion
A discussion has been started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries/Lists of countries which could affect the inclusion criteria and title of this and other lists of countries. Editors are invited to participate. Pfainuk talk 12:10, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

These numbers seem inconsistent with the map. According to the numbers presented, the map should show Yemen as lower-middle income, Syria as upper-middle, Russia as high income, etc. 84.202.252.37 (talk) 10:46, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Where's Taiwan?
Curious..Taiwan does not seem to appear anywhere on this list. 96.239.140.104 (talk) 03:04, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Taiwan is part of China, maybe that is why it is missing? Zamp m (talk) 17:53, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Taiwan isn't "part of China", stop spreading propaganda here. The Republic of China is its own country and has nothing to do with the People's Republic of China. So, where is it? Still not even in the "no data" section, ten years later. --Laughing Vampire (talk) 13:11, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Actually, Taiwan is recognized only by China as part of itself. Also related to this question, where is Kuwait? According to the map is should be one of the highest... Feng277394 (talk) 11:48, 16 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Never mind Taiwan, where's Canada? ZtObOr 16:14, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Russia
Stop. If Russian GNI per capita is 14000 and it is high income but why on map it is as upper high income? 79.139.139.205 (talk) 08:13, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Page and list updated
I have updated the list of countries by GNI (PPP) per capita according to the latest figures published by the World Bank for July 2008. I also decided to re-arrange the list by including ONLY World Bank statistics. Anyother source shall be added in another list. I've included the economic classification also based on World Bank standards I also wanted to add the Region and Lending category but I think that should be a subject of discussion. Anyhow I hope my contribution was the right one for this project. Thanks. Tony0106 (talk) 00:24, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

If you look at this website at the top of the page and the sources you will find that the numbers were updated with the latest report of the World Bank with figures of JULY 2008. Apparently the World Bank did NOT or has NOT released a list with the new numbers but instead updated every country. The title which says Countries by GNI (PPP) is probably a writing mistake. And the next time somebody is going to delete all the information I updated. They can send me a message either privately or here. Tony0106 (talk) 03:05, 23 September 2009 (UTC)


 * The latest World Bank estimates for 2013 are available at . Please update the table.191.184.68.209 (talk) 14:19, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

New map needed
I've updated the figures for 2008. Could someone create a map for it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frichmon (talk • contribs) 16:56, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Percentages of average, median and maximum GNI?
Is anyone interested (manually or by wiki robot) to put the percentages of these in 3 extra columns? 1. Percentage of allover average GNI 2. Percentage of the median (midscore) GNI   (This reveals more information that merely the average, especially compared with the average. STatistics gurus now why.) 3. Percentage of the maximum GNI

For averages and median, there is a lack of information from the "N/A countries". I suggest to lower the error, to just take the minimum (e.g. 300$) for these (as can be expected the lack of inormation points to a VLI). (Or possibly take the averag of the VLI, maybe a better error correction.)

Anyone against this? Anyone volunteer to manually calculate this or make a robot for it? R U Bn (Talk • contrib) 12:59, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

The order of the table seems arbitrary.
Shouldn't it be ordered by data by default? --fireattack (talk) 09:59, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
 * And, non-sovereign states like Macao should not have a rank.--fireattack (talk) 10:00, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Historical data
A graph of historical data globally would be helpful.  —  C M B J   08:19, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
