SINGAPORE: Singapore has secured the fourth position in the latest rankings of the world’s richest countries and regions for 2024, as reported by Forbes.
This list, which evaluates countries based on their per capita gross domestic product , showcases the economic strengths of smaller nations in comparison to larger economies.
Singapore’s per capita GDP stands at US$133,740 , reflecting its robust economy and strategic financial policies. Notably, the United States ranks ninth in this evaluation, with a per capita GDP of US$85,370 , highlighting the differing economic dynamics between smaller and larger nations. However, the article emphasizes that per capita GDP alone does not paint a complete picture of a nation’s wealth. Factors such as inflation rates and the cost of local products and services must also be considered to achieve a more accurate assessment of economic wellbeing. This leads to the use of purchasing power parity adjustments, which refine the per capita GDP figures and help in understanding the relative wealth among nations.
The remaining countries in the top ten include Qatar in fifth place, the United Arab Emirates at sixth, Switzerland in seventh, San Marino at eighth, and Norway completing the list at tenth position.
