COMMENTARY     

matt
27th March 2006 		@ T-Luxembourg: It's called Socially and Economically Conservative policies

And why has Canada GONE DOWN when the Economy is currently the best in the G8? From other sources, Canada's GDP per capita is as high as $36,000
Karl Smith
1st April 2006 		These seem to be exchange rate weighted not PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) weighted. This means that countries whose currency is down will drop in the list even if they are not getting relatively poorer.

Also, Luxemburg's position is largely a stastical fiction. Many people who work in Lux don't live in Lux. That means that they contribute to the GDP part but not to the Capita part. Thus artifically drving up Lux's GDP/Capita.
Dmitry Rodin (RUSSIA/KURGAN)
7th May 2006 		Shocking statistics! What should be......, to earn not on 5-10 of percents it is less, but in times. Even petroleum normally sell can not. Natural.......!
Jean
23rd May 2006 		The strange thing is that this site USED to have a GDP/Capita PPP stat. The only reason the USA is not on top is because the dollar is relatively weak.

I bet they will change to GDP/Capita PPP when the dollar is strong.
Carlos Sanchez (Dominican Republic)
14th June 2006 		An average citizen of Luxemborg produces the same amount of GDP as the total of one citizen each from countries #100 through #184 COMBINED.
rom (czech republic)
24th August 2006 		I heard equatorial guinea was number 2 in the world... and the Czech republic has 19000. The cia world factbook: in other sites, and here, check the GDP of each country and divide by population. Equatorial Guinea should be #2 and the Czech republic should be close to 20000. its all statistics though.
Nayef Aldosari (Qatar)
5th November 2006 		Qatar's GDP per capita figure is outdated. The current figure (2005)is $49,655
sam (thailand)
14th April 2007 		Such an exhaustive and impressively imputed data is commendable for review and knowledge.Thanks for the information.
Kevin (North Carolina/USA)
1st August 2007 		This seems to be like a lot of economics lists'. You can use it as a guide but of course there are always variables that will arise. I would have liked to seen more info as to when the figures were compiled for each country.
Kevin (Bonaire, Neth. Antilles)
9th November 2007 		NETHERLANDS ANTILLES US$ 6446 ?? Damn, this is VERY outdated (1985!!!!) Currently we have a GDP of at least US$ 17.000, which places us at least on position #43.
