What is GNI per Capita (Atlas)?

GNI per capita (Atlas method) is the gross national income of a country converted to US dollars using the Atlas conversion factor, divided by its mid-year population. It measures the average income of a nation's residents and serves as the primary metric for classifying economies into income groups.

Methodology

The calculation uses a three-year average of exchange rates to smooth the impact of currency fluctuations. This Atlas conversion factor adjusts the current exchange rate by the ratio of domestic inflation to the inflation of several major international economies. The resulting dollar-denominated national income is then divided by the total population.

GNI per capita (Atlas method) is an economic indicator representing the average income earned by a nation's citizens, converted into US dollars. It includes all domestic production plus net income from abroad. The Atlas method specifically uses a smoothed exchange rate to provide more stable international comparisons across different years.

According to the latest available data covering 206 countries, Bermuda holds the highest GNI per capita (Atlas method) at 145,150 US dollars. This high value reflects the territory's status as a global hub for international business and financial services, which generates significant income relative to its small resident population.

The latest ranking indicates that Burundi has the lowest GNI per capita (Atlas method) at 260 US dollars. This figure reflects an economy largely based on subsistence agriculture with limited industrial development. Such a low average income highlights the significant economic challenges and high poverty levels experienced within the country.

The Atlas method uses smoothed market exchange rates to convert national income into a common currency for administrative classification. Conversely, Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) adjusts for the actual cost of goods and services in different countries. PPP is often preferred for comparing living standards, while Atlas is used for economic grouping.
