___ National Economic Accounts for Countries and Regions around the World

Compared National Income Accounting in relation to the standards of living across countries.

Comparison of the Gross National Income (GNI) of countries based on Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) per
capita in international Dollars.

List of countries and regions of the world by their GNI at purchasing power parity (PPP) per capita for one year (2005),
in ascending order starting with the countries with the lowest GNI.
For example, the comparable average income of a citizen of Malawi is 596 Dollar yearly, the average income of
a citizen of Argentina is 13 153 Dollar in a year, and a citizen of the United States has an average income of
41 557 Dollar yearly.

Definition:
The Gross National Income (GNI) comprises the total value of currently produced final goods and services
produced by the domestic economy of a country, measured within a given period of time, usually a year.
(a close value is Gross National Product (GNP).
Purchasing Power Parity is a method of measuring the relative purchasing power of different countries'
currencies over the same types of goods and services, despite differential rates of inflation. PPP allows
to make more accurate comparisons of standards of living across countries, because goods and services
may cost more in one country than in another.
The International Dollar is a hypothetical unit of currency that has the same purchasing power that the
U.S. dollar has in the United States at a given point in time.
