Talk:List of countries by GDP (nominal) per capita

IMF 2021 data

There are some weird data in this report. For example why Haiti's GDP is $1 943, more than Nicaragua and Venezuela? Haiti was ALWAYS not only poorest country in the Americas, but one of the poorest in the world. Why did Somalia appear out of nowhere in this year's report after not being included for many years? Cuba and North Korea are still not included. And why is Syria's data from 2010, while 2020 report included data from 2019? It was incorrect? Could someone explain this?

Just because a country was poorest doesn’t mean it’s slated to remain like that forever. So Haiti being above Venezuela and Nicaragua is logical given Venezuela’s ongoing economic crisis and Nicaragua’s woes too so no Haiti isn’t slated to remain poor or poorest; plz stop that mindset. Nothing is fixed. In the next 100 years who knows Canada or US could be poorest Nlivataye (talk) 17:25, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Please, open countries by gdp per capita nominal and delete: Cook Islands * and Taiwan It is not a countries. Nik-Nikname (talk) 10:42, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Now North Korea and Cuba are included. But I suggest that they should also get a rank, since they are independent countries. Jens Ahlström (talk) 10:56, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Amend the external link to IMF data?

For some reason, the external link to the IMF dataset is for the "nominal GDP" figures, and not to the more relevant for this article "nominal GDP per capita" figures. So perhaps, the IMF external link should be changed to IMF nominal GDP per capita.

Please, open countries by gdp per capita nominal and delete: Cook Islands and Taiwan It is not a countries. Nik-Nikname (talk) 10:45, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

 Not done :As per guidences of a RfC decision and a prior concensus, the index will include and display all entries listed by sources; the table will not differentiate list entries by omitting numbering, or inputting italics or bolding if the original source does not make such distinction.

You can try to use the sort function by clicking the first column of list to sort the relevant list in ascending order. For instance, for ranking IMF estimates in ascending order: Select "estimates" column underneath the topic of IMF. LVTW2 (talk) 16:25, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Taiwan is obviously not member of IMF

That means taiwan(there is no country called taiwan, but one economy called Republoc of Taiwan) should be marked with color. Otherwise it shows this table is not professional and ignorant. 77.179.106.121 (talk) 13:07, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

In the article of List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal). The entry for Taiwan has already contained a citation (The name used in IMF's report is "Taiwan Province of China") which is cited as a part of the IMF report, regardless of whether Taiwan as a member or not, it has its own place within the IMF report. As per guidences of a RfC decision and a prior concensus, the index will include and display all entries listed by sources; the table will not differentiate list entries by omitting numbering, or inputting italics or bolding if the original source does not make such distinction.

Semi-protected edit request on 6 October 2022

Georgia should be switched to Europe. If Cyprus, a country often regarded to be geographically entirely in Asia, is classified as Europe, and if Russia, a transcontinental country should also be listed as Europe, it's not clear to me why Georgia is not. At the very least, Georgia is considered a transcontinental country, so placing it square in Asia seems like a political statement, rather than a factual one. And please don't start with this nonsense about United Nations, the UN Regional Groups has it under Eastern Europe.

On a separate subject, why does this list even need a continental breakdown? Why can't we just list these countries as is. All of this seems like a political statement. 2600:1700:20:1D80:8C17:7978:A761:A09D (talk) 21:01, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. MadGuy7023 (talk) 21:06, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Indeed, the UN's [https://www.un.org/dgacm/en/content/regional-groups Regional groups of Member States] lists the Caucasus countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia) as "Eastern European States". Given how the table column is named "UN Region", this is the source we should go by. Consensus achieved. Dhyana b (talk) 21:16, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Hungary nominal gdp projection for 2022 appears abnormally high

Can someone verify this claim of 27k on their page? I assume that is why it presumably falls in 20-30k range on the map. But the 2021 years nominal gdp per capita was less than 20k so this seems like an absolutely impossible jump. Also, in the table it shows it around 19k for 2022 so at the very least there is a discrepancy. 24.186.235.38 (talk) 04:30, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello. What do you mean by "claim of 27k on their page"? Whose page? Dhyana b (talk) 10:54, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Oh, I think I understood, you meant the Economy of Hungary wiki page. Yes, some trolled the values. Fixed it. -- Dhyana b (talk) 11:42, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

 Not done All listing estimats are complied with the original sources, eg. for Hungary

18,983 (2022) by the IMF

18,773 (2021) by the WB

16,129 (2020) by the UN

all figures are falled behind the estimated range you presumed, please provide credible and verified sources to prove your claim. LVTW2 (talk) 15:49, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Remove EU from list

EU doesn't even have a unified single currency. Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Sweden don't use EURO as their currency. EU is not qualified to be on the list.138.75.0.60 (talk) 10:02, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Guyana map change

Since Guyana recently has reached a nominal GDP per capita of $17,108. I suggest the map will be changed to a more accurate one, representing the recent changes :D Guyana 176.22.182.101 (talk) 09:36, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Well, we update with the values provided by the cited sources. Next IMF report is in April & the estimated figures for 2023 will replace the current ones (for 2022). I'm sure you'll see this change then. -- Dhyana b (talk) 23:17, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Iran GDP per capita

Are Iran's figures accurate? It shows it was 4000 in 2021 and 23000 in 2022. Most likely due to extreme exchange rate distortions. Some kind of disclaimer or more accurate figures must be added. 74.109.236.57 (talk) 21:18, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

The table just contains the values provided by the cited sources. There prob was an extreme fluctuation in the exchange-rate, due to sanctions being lifted or something of the sort. Dhyana b (talk) 23:20, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Rank for Monaco and Lichtenstein

I suggest that countries like Monaco and Lichtenstein get a rank, regardless if they are a member of IMF or not. Jens Ahlström (talk) 10:50, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Rank should be on United Nations figures.

The other two sources have missing data for some independent countries, like Monaco, Lichtenstein, Cuba and North Korea. This is quit serious, since it is causing errors, not only in this table alone, but also in all the articles about all the individual countries. Jens Ahlström (talk) 06:09, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

 Not done:The table was ranked by the latest available figures of individal country/ territory with the most recent information issued by the IMF report (2022), most of the rankings are based on the IMF report only because of its year of release, which does not set the IMF data as the only criterion, .

Ukraine

Very Strange people here are very quick to downgrade African countries per capital income and HDI but Ukraine which is obviously not doing well since its invasion yet its HDI and per capita still intact. I won't be surprised if it's soon updated to very high HDI and a newly high income economy like Luxembourg or Switzerland 197.250.230.207 (talk) 16:32, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
