GNI per capita measures a country’s gross national income in U.S. dollars per person using the World Bank Atlas method, which divides GNI by the population. It includes domestic production, product taxes minus subsidies, and net foreign income. To ensure comparability across countries, GNI is converted to U.S. dollars using either official exchange rates or an alternative rate for significant deviations. The World Bank’s Atlas method averages exchange rates over three years and adjusts for inflation differentials between the country and major economies, initially the G-5 countries and, from 2001, including the Euro area.
