On the Asian stage, the economic drama is being staged wonderfully. It is the most populous continent in the world, with 48 countries and regions dotted like stars on this land full of changes and challenges.
Some countries have reached the pinnacle of wealth, social welfare is perfect, and people's lives are stable. And some places are still struggling with the dilemma of low income and low welfare, trying to break out of the cocoon into a butterfly. There are also some places that are undergoing economic transformation and catch-up at an astonishing speed.
So, what is Asia's GDP per capita ranking?According to the latest from the International Monetary Organization, the top 10 countries and regions in Asia in terms of GDP per capita have been revealed.
The top three are Singapore with a GDP per capita of US$91,100, Qatar with US$83,891 and Israel with US$55,535. It is followed by the UAE, which ranks fourth with a GDP per capita of $49,451.
Brunei, Kuwait, Japan, South Korea, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia ranked fifth to tenth, with GDP per capita of US$35,103, US$33,646, US$35,385, US$33,393, US$31,945 and US$30,890, respectively.
This ranking reveals the regions with the highest GDP per capita in Asia, mainly concentrated in the Middle East and East Asia. Among them, Middle Eastern countries account for six, and their economies are mainly dependent on oil and gas export revenues, enjoying the benefits of resources. East Asian countries account for four, and their economies are largely dependent on the development of manufacturing and services, showing the fruits of industrialization and modernization.
However, Yemen has the lowest per capita GDP in Asia, at only US$620, which is equivalent to 068%。Afghanistan, North Korea, Syria and Lebanon, on the other hand, are unable to accurately calculate their GDP per capita due to a lack of reliable data. But it is estimated that their GDP per capita will not exceed $1,000 and they are in a situation of extreme poverty.
This is Asia's GDP per capita ranking, a world full of wealth and poverty, progress and backwardness. Here, each country and region is using its own way to interpret the development and change of the economy.
