      Income group tables

      For operational and analytical purposes the World Bank’s main criterion for classifying economies is gross national income (GNI) per capita Each economy in The Little Green Data Book is classified as low income, middle income, or high income Low- and middle-income economies are sometimes referred to as developing economies The use of the term is convenient; it is not intended to imply that all economies in the group are experiencing similar development or that other economies have reached a preferred or final stage of development Classification by income does not necessarily reflect development status Note: Classifications are fixed during the World Bank’s fiscal year (ending on June 30), thus countries remain in the categories in which they are classified irrespective of any revisions to their per capita income data

      Low-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $1,045 or less in 2013

      Middle-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of more than $1,045 but less than $12,746 Lower-middle-income and upper-middle-income economies are separated at a GNI per capita of $4,125

      High-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $12,746 or more

      Euro area includes the member states of the Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union that have adopted the euro as their currency: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, and Spain
