Despite the ongoing crisis in the global economic and financial system, development has not stopped, and the world continues to move forward. The drivers of this are states with developed economies. They were able to show quite decent results in 2016 as well. At the same time, there is some difference between economically developed and rich countries. For example, Japan and Qatar. The first is certainly more developed, and the second is richer.

TOP 10 most successful countries based on the results of 2016

Eat various ways calculating this indicator, but one way or another, none of them can do without taking into account the level of gross domestic product per capita. According to the IMF, the TOP 10 in 2016 looks like this.

10. Australia. This country opens the rating list. The country is known for its heavy industry and well-developed food industry. Australian canned food, especially meat, is famous all over the world. IN Lately Taking into account new trends, information technologies have also begun to actively develop in this country. With a population of only 8.5 million people, the state was able to provide a per capita GDP of more than 40 thousand dollars.

9. Ireland. Again a small country. Despite the serious consequences that the 2008 crisis entailed in the Irish banking industry, the economy managed to recover quickly. Ireland is famous for its textile and food industries. There are also metallurgical plants that produce products of higher quality. The level of GDP per citizen here is almost the same as in Australia.

8. Holland. She ranks eighth in the ranking. It may seem strange to many that the basis for the economy and success of this country is not tulips or tourism. The prosperity of Holland is ensured by metal production and oil production. At the same time, we can say there is no unemployment there. The level of GDP per person is 42 thousand dollars.

7. Switzerland. It was not difficult to assume that this country would be in the top, since it is considered one of the most expensive in the world. The basis of the country's success is banking. Swiss financial institutions are considered the most reliable. There are also no problems finding work in this state. And, traditionally, a significant part of the income comes from the production of excellent watches. The GDP indicator is 47,424 thousand dollars per person.

6. USA. This state has the world's largest gross income ($18,124.7 trillion), but in terms of each American, it is not in the very first positions. The figure is 48 thousand dollars. At the same time, this is an excellent result. Oil refining and steel production are widely developed in the United States. The production of cars is excellent. Information technology has long been America's forte. Suffice it to recall corporations such as Microsoft and Google. And, of course, a significant contribution to financial well-being This state contributes the dollar, used throughout the world, and is still considered one of the most stable currencies.

5. Singapore. In this country, per capita of each citizen there is 56 thousand dollars of GDP. The country is traditionally famous for its excellent electronics. In addition, the chemical industry is developing well. Currently, the government is implementing a program to actively financially support the development of computer science and technology. Despite the high level of income of its residents, Singapore is known as a country with very low prices.

4. Norway. Another northern country in the TOP 10. At the same time, in an honorable fourth place. The main basis of its wealth is well-developed oil and gas production, including on ocean shelves. Norway is also famous for its seafood and tourism. The GDP for each Norwegian is about 56 thousand dollars.

3. UAE. The top three are revealed by the United United Arab Emirates. Who would doubt that. The basis of the Emirates' wealth is oil, gold and metallurgy. Tourism also brings in significant income. Due to this, each of the eight million citizens has a share of the GDP of 58 thousand dollars.

2. Luxembourg. This small European state is at the same time one of the most developed, where, perhaps, it takes better care of its population (500 thousand people) than anyone else in the EU. The basis of the economy is the activities of financial institutions. Production developed iron ore and steel production. The portion of GDP per citizen is simply an incredible amount - 90 thousand dollars.

1. Qatar. This is by far the most successful country in the world, if you look at the share of GDP per Qatari - $112 thousand with a population of two million. The basis for this is huge oil reserves and its widely developed production and processing.

As we can see, the most successful countries in terms of living standards, with the exception of the United States, are quite small countries. Therefore, it is impossible not to mention those countries whose citizens are not so “rich”, but which have made a major contribution to the development of the world economy. These are the most economically developed countries.

Countries that ensured the “success” of others.

As mentioned above, in terms of its level of development, the United States is in first place. This is confirmed by their total GDP - 18,124.7 trillion dollars.

China is in second position. It has a GDP of 11211.9 trillion. Many financial analysts believe that if the Chinese economy continues to grow, it will soon be able to displace the American one from its leading position.

Japan ranks third in terms of development level ($4,210.4 trillion). At the same time, per capita it is 39 thousand dollars. That is, the country was quite a candidate for the TOP 10 in terms of success.

Germany came fourth. Its GDP in 2016 was $3,413.5 trillion. In terms of success level, it is also very close to the top ten. And in fifth place is Great Britain (2853.4 trillion).

(according to the Human Development Index)
