102 countries, one dot each, on one scale — further right is a higher value. Half the countries are above 14,273; a quarter are above 29,597, and a quarter below 4,930. The bar in each row marks that continent’s middle country.

In order, highest value first. “=” marks a position shared with another country. World Bank Group ranks nobody on this measure; the position is derived here by ordering the published values. Editorially loaded in the way GDP per capita is: calling a richer country a better one is an opinion no publisher here has offered, so this is left out of the Country Index.

About GNI per capita (PPP)
Gross national income per capita counts what a country’s residents EARN, wherever in the world they earn it, where GDP counts what is produced inside its borders. The two part company most for countries living on remittances and for those hosting foreign operations whose profits go home.

11Questions
GNI per capita (PPP): questions and answers
Which country has the highest GNI per capita (PPP)?
Singapore, at 116,633, among the 102 countries compared in 2025.
Which country has the lowest GNI per capita (PPP)?
Central African Republic, at 1,181, among the 102 countries compared in 2025.
How many countries does the GNI per Capita (PPP) cover?
102 in 2025, and 197 at least once across all editions. The number measured varies from 81 to 197 between editions.
What is the world average GNI per capita (PPP)?
This site does not calculate a world average, which would depend on how countries are weighted. In the middle country of the 102 compared in 2025, the figure was 14,273.
Is this World Bank Group’s own ranking?
No. World Bank Group publishes the values but ranks nobody; the position on this page is derived by Nations Inquiry by ordering the published values, and equal values share a position.
How often is the GNI per Capita (PPP) published?
This site holds 32 reference years, 1994–2025, all recalculated in World Bank Group’s 2026 report on one method — not 32 separate publications.
Where does the data come from, and can I download it?
From World Bank Group, under CC BY 4.0. Pulled from the World Bank’s indicator API (NY.GNP.PCAP.PP.KD). 1990–1993 are not imported: fewer than 80 countries reported. Every edition is available on this site’s Datasets pages as a full table, unrounded.

How this page reads the numbers
- World Bank Group ranks nobody on this measure. The position is derived by Nations Inquiry by ordering the published values; equal values share a position.
- Which end is better follows the publisher’s own reading of the measure.
- A country is named at an end only when it holds that value alone. Where several share it, the page says how many and names none first.
- Values are stored exactly as published and trimmed only for display. “The middle country” is the median of the countries measured, not a world average.
The full note on this data
32 reference years (1994–2025), covering 81 to 197 countries, pulled from the World Bank’s indicator API (NY.GNP.PCAP.PP.KD). Gross national income counts what a country’s residents EARN, wherever in the world they earn it, where GDP counts what is PRODUCED inside its borders — so the two part company most for countries living on remittances (GNI higher) and for those hosting large foreign operations whose profits go home (GNI lower). Both are converted at purchasing power parities so a dollar buys the same basket everywhere, which is what makes them comparable and also what makes them estimates rather than measurements. ⚠ 1990–1993 are not imported: fewer than 80 countries reported. ⚠ These are not 32 published reports — see `restatedByReport`, which names the World Development Indicators release this was pulled from. ⚠ A statistic, not an index, and editorially loaded in the way GDP per capita is: calling a richer country a better one is an opinion no publisher here has offered, so it is left out of the Country Index. No rank is published, so none is stored; the POSITION shown on the statistics page is derived here by ordering the score, and labelled as ours.
