TOP 25 RICHES COUNTRIESCOUNTRIES IN THE WORLD 3

The world is getting richer: The global economy expanded by more than 3 percent to $80.68

trillion in 2017. But that wealth is not distributed equally.

North America, home to less than than 5 percent of the global population, accounts for about

one-fourth of global economic output. Meanwhile, in South Asia, where nearly 25 percent of the

world’s population resides, the region’s economic activity accounts for less than 4 percent of

global gross domestic product.

GDP may be the standard method for gauging the size of a particular country or region’s

economy, but it does not account for all of the wealth generated by that nation. A more accurate

indicator of a country’s economic output is its gross national income, or GNI. This measure

captures all economic activity within a nation’s borders in addition to wealth created by

nationally owned entities operating in other countries.

Using data from the World Bank, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the GNI per capita of about 180 nations

to identify the 25 richest countries. We also included life expectancy at birth from the World

Bank, as well as GDP from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

wealthiest 25 countries in the world have complex and diverse economies. They export goods

and services that originate in a variety of industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and

aerospace. Another common characteristic among the richest countries is the relative lack of

corruption.

According to corruption watchdog Transparency International, the least corrupt countries feature

a free press, open access to public information, and judicial systems free from undue influence.
