The information disclosed by the World Bank shows that there are still three countries with a per capita GDP of exceeding US$100,000 in 2021, namely: Monaco , Liechtenstein , and Luxembourg . Among them, Monaco's per capita GDP reached US$100,000 in 2003, and is expected to hit US$200,000 this year.
Liechtenstein's per capita GDP exceeded US$100,000 in 2004 and reached around US$150,000 in 2014. The economy is expected to continue to recover this year. Coupled with inflation factors, per capita GDP is also expected to approach or reach US$200,000, "a pair of heroes" with Monaco and lead the way among countries around the world. Luxembourg ranked third in
per capita GDP, achieving a breakthrough of US$135,000 in 2021. The current economic development situation is still relatively fast, especially after the lifting of various restrictions related to epidemic prevention, residents' consumption rebounds rapidly, and per capita GDP will hit US$150,000.
Yes, you read that right! Luxembourg's per capita GDP is not the world's largest. There are more than 200 countries and regions around the world, but the per capita GDP ranking announced by the International Monetary Fund only includes 189 members. The lack of coverage has made many people mistakenly believe that Luxembourg's per capita GDP is the highest in the world.
This year, there are three other countries' per capita GDP that will exceed US$100,000
First of all, Ireland . The per capita GDP in 2021 has reached US$99,000, and only one layer of window paper needs to be pierced. Nansheng noted that IBEC predicts in its new economic outlook that Ireland's economy will grow by about 7% in 2022, leading among developed countries.
Nan Sheng believes that this prediction is still conservative. Taking the first quarter of this year as an example, Ireland's GDP actually increased by 11.0% compared with the same period last year, an increase of 10.9% month-on-month compared with the fourth quarter of last year. Adding to the inflation factor, the nominal growth rate of economic scale is close to 20%.
Global capital flow transformation and major technology companies' investment in Ireland are still actively advancing, and high growth this year is bound to reappear. In other words, it should be more logical for us to analyze and discuss whether Ireland's per capita GDP can achieve a breakthrough of US$110,000 in 2022.
followed by Norwegian . While internal demand is actively recovering, strong external demand has become a new strong driving force. Taking the first half of this year as an example, the nominal GDP completed by the whole Norwegian society reached 2513.655 billion kroner , excluding the factors of price changes, the actual increase of 4.4% year-on-year.
If inflation factors are not excluded, Norway's nominal GDP growth rate has exceeded 34%, driven by the sharp rise in oil and gas resource prices. With such a high inflation level, combined with a real rise of about 4%, Norway's economic scale and per capita GDP will hit a new high.
Still taking the first half of 2022 as an example, Norway's GDP has reached US$275.24 billion, with an average per capita of nearly US$51,000. Considering that the economic scale in the first half of the year usually accounts for about 46% of the whole year, coupled with the large export of oil and gas resources, the per capita per capita will inevitably exceed US$100,000.
The countries whose per capita GDP is expected to achieve a breakthrough of US$100,000 in 2022 are also Switzerland , whose per capita GDP in 2021 has reached nearly US$93,500. Credit Suisse Group expects that the economic growth rate this year will be around 2.5%, and it is still expected to achieve an increase of more than 1% next year.
Compared with Norway, Switzerland's economic growth momentum is mainly in the financial, pharmaceutical, electronic and mechanical industries, without the addition of oil and gas resources. This leads to inflation levels in Switzerland, much lower than Norway. The per capita GDP ranking in 2022 may be surpassed by Norway. Do netizens agree with this?
