Richest countries in the world 2023 | Surely, you would have wondered which are the richest countries in the world.
Many people think that China, the United States, or even Russia are because they have the largest and most influential economies in the world. But the truth is that there are several ways to measure wealth.
The indicators of a nation's wealth can vary from one classification to another – hence the differences between them but they usually include a country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), GDP per capita, or Gross National Income (GNI).
To obtain the classification of the richest countries in the world, we have taken into account both GDP per capita and nominal GDP. The first of these is obtained by dividing the Gross Domestic Producer (GDP) of a country by all its inhabitants. In this way, it results in an average wealth per inhabitant (per capita).
