Questions

What is the richest country in the world?

By GDP per person at purchasing power parity, Singapore (Int$ 176,927 in 2026) among countries of a million people or more; then Ireland, Norway, Switzerland.

Purchasing power parity converts each country’s GDP at the prices of a common basket of goods, rather than at market exchange rates, so that a dollar buys the same everywhere. It raises poorer countries, where many things are cheaper.
