03 · Regional rankings

Richest countries by region

Each continent ranked on its own: the 25 richest countries of each region, with their place in the world ranking. Unlike the previous edition, every region now sits on the same world scale, so a score in Africa compares directly with a score in Europe.

Reader service: in the richest destinations, a doctor's visit or a night in hospital costs far more than at home (Switzerland, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates).

04 · How we score

Methodology

Built by HelloSafe's travel insurance team, independently of our comparison. GDP alone says what a country produces; this index also asks whether that wealth reaches its residents. Every figure comes from a public international dataset, so the ranking can be reproduced from the sources.

Score /100= weighted sum30 %GDP per capita (PPP)20 %National income per capita20 %Human development15 %Income equality15 %Low poverty
SourcesIMF World Economic Outlook (GDP per capita in PPP, 2026 estimates), World Bank WDI (GNI per capita, Atlas method), UNDP Human Development Report 2025 (HDI), World Bank Poverty and Inequality Platform (Gini index, share below the societal poverty line).
ProcessingIncomes on a log scale, as the UNDP does for the HDI. Min-max 0–100 over all 178 countries, Gini and poverty inverted, outliers winsorised, a missing inequality or poverty figure filled with the median of the country's World Bank income group.
RobustnessRank correlation of 0.99 with equal weights. Norway stays first under every weighting tested.

Formula Prosperity Index = 0.30 × GDP + 0.20 × National income + 0.20 × Human development + 0.15 × Income equality + 0.15 × Low poverty

What this study does not show
  • Only the 25 richest countries of each region are published; the other scores stay in the dataset.
  • Micro-states under 100,000 inhabitants are excluded (Monaco, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra…), as are countries without GDP, national income or HDI data (North Korea, Cuba, South Sudan…).
  • Hong Kong is scored as a separate economy, as the IMF, the World Bank and the UNDP report it; Taiwan is not covered (no World Bank or UNDP data).
  • Inequality surveys are rare: the latest Gini and poverty figures date from 2005 to 2025 depending on the country. For 16 countries without any (including Singapore, New Zealand and the Gulf states), the median of their income group is used.
  • Some countries measure inequality on consumption rather than income, which reads lower (India, much of Asia and Africa): their equality score is flattered.
  • Ireland's and Luxembourg's GDP is inflated by multinational profits and cross-border workers; national income and the HDI weigh 40 % to correct it.
  • Relative, not absolute: a score compares countries with each other. Prices, cost of living and wealth within a country are not measured.
  • Data window: latest release of each source at publication (October 2026).
