The World by Income and Region

January 27, 2020September 27, 2021 admin

The World Bank classifies all World Bank member countries (189), and all other economies with populations of more than 30,000.

For operational and analytical purposes, economies are divided among income groups according to 2018 gross national income (GNI) per capita, calculated using the World Bank Atlas method.

The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low income, $1,025 or less; lower middle income, $1,026 – 3,995; upper middle income, $3,996 – 12,375; and high income, $12,375 or more. The effective operational cutoff for IDA eligibility is $1,175 or less.

For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars

Countries are classified each year on July 1, based on the estimate of their GNI per capita for the previous calendar year.

Geographic classifications in this table cover all income levels.

IDA countries are those that lack the financial ability to borrow from IBRD.

The International Development Association (IDA) is the part of the World Bank that helps the world’s poorest countries. Overseen by 173 shareholder nations, IDA aims to reduce poverty by providing loans (called “credits”) and grants for programs that boost economic growth, reduce inequalities, and improve people’s living conditions.

IDA credits are deeply concessional—interest-free loans and grants for programs aimed at boosting economic growth and improving living conditions.

The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development is an international financial institution that offers loans to middle-income developing countries. IBRD loans are noncessional.

Blend countries are eligible for IDA credits because of their low per capita incomes but are also eligible for IBRD because they are financially creditworthy.

The term country, used interchangeably with economy, does not imply political independence but refers to any territory for which authorities report separate social or economic statistics.
