Talk:World Bank high-income economy

The World Bank classifies 66 economies as High Income Economies

Among these economies, 49 are UN recognized countries, while 17 are not "recognized countries":

Aruba, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Channel Islands, Faroe Islands, French Polynesia, Greenland, Guam, Hong Kong, Isle of Man, Macau, Netherlands Antilles, New Caledonia, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, Taiwan, Virgin Islands.

• Following citation 3, Taiwan (ROC) is listed as Taiwan, China on the original source of the World Bank webpage, so I have changed it according the official document. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chadsnook (talk • contribs) 11:53, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
• Taiwan is classified by UN as a High Income Economy. No difference between Taiwan and all of the other 16 economies (e.g. Guam). None of them is a recognized country.
• The list is not limited to economies whose GNI per capita is known: it includes many countries whose GNI is unknown, e.g. Andorra, Bahama, Liechtenstein, Qatar, and the other 17 economies mentioned above (e.g. Guam), see here on the fourth page and at the bottom of page 3.
• The list is not limited to economies whose GDP per capita is known. it includes many countries whose GNI is unknown, e.g. Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Nauru, San Marino, and the other 17 economies mentioned above (e.g. Guam). See the IMF table.
• Taiwan's GDP per capita and GNI per capita, is known exactly. See the IMF table, here.

First World

I have just edited the First World article and removed the section "High income economies" as it overlapped with this article. Some of the information previously in the First World article may be of use here. -- PBS (talk) 12:12, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
