Update MAP to add Argentina and Panama

[edit]

This 2 countries are now High Income as of fiscal year 2019 https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/906519#High_income

Chile, Uruguay, Latvia and Lithuania

[edit]

Why aren´t theses conutries considered as high income economies. According to the World Bank the GDP per Capita (nominal) are US$14,394 (Chile), US$13,866 (Uruguay), US$12,726 (Latvia), and US$13,339 (Lithuania)?. The chilean GDP for example is even greater than the income of some so considered high income economies such as CHungary, Poland and Barbados. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.174.142.101 (talk) 16:21, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

there is still no answer for this question? i think, there should be an explanation, because according to the article´s information they should be considered HIE.

The World Bank classifies 66 economies as High Income Economies

[edit]

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)[reply]
  • 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

[edit]

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)[reply]


Map Accuracy

[edit]

Why is the Crimea coloured differently from the rest of the Ukraine? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.184.231.68 (talk) 23:15, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why isn't Israel on the map? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.82.228.82 (talk) 17:27, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

World Bank list

[edit]

It seems like there is a new list of 'high income economies' as of July 2010. Latvia and Poland are added, and Antiga and Barbuda dropped from the list. However, each time I check, I have various versions of the WB's list (sometimes an old one, sometimes a new one), so I am not sure whether the new list is already official... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.12.173.9 (talk) 05:59, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Map and Antigua and Barbuda

[edit]

The new update, completed on 15th July still has got at least 2 inaccuracies (what I noticed).

- The map does not correspond to the content: both Latvia and Poland are still green, and should be blue - Antigua and Barbuda is not a part of high income economies as of 2010. As of July 2010, it got classified as upper middle income country. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.12.173.9 (talk) 06:56, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Romania

[edit]

MisterData124, why do you keep moving Romania to the 'currently high-income' heading? It only had that status in 2019 (so far). Check the source: [1] It is clearly listed under "upper-middle-income economies" and not high-income economies. Crossroads -talk- 05:40, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong map

[edit]

Greenland has been painted large and wrong. No pun intended. Ivo Leniet (talk) 10:23, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to an IP, the map has been corrected as per Greenland. Thanks again. Ivo Leniet (talk) 09:34, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
