In 2025, Luxembourg was the country with the highest gross domestic product per capita in the world. Of the 20 listed countries, 13 are in Europe and five are in Asia, alongside the U.S. and Australia. There are no African or Latin American countries among the top 20. Correlation with high living standards While GDP is a useful indicator for measuring the size or strength of an economy, GDP per capita is much more reflective of living standards. For example, when compared to life expectancy or indices such as the Human Development Index or the World Happiness Report, there is a strong overlap - 14 of the 20 countries on this list are also ranked among the 20 happiest countries in 2024, and all 20 have "very high" HDIs. Misleading metrics? GDP per capita figures, however, can be misleading, and to paint a fuller picture of a country's living standards then one must look at multiple metrics. GDP per capita figures can be skewed by inequalities in wealth distribution, and in countries such as those in the Middle East, a relatively large share of the population lives in poverty while a smaller number live affluent lifestyles.

In 2024, the U.S. GDP increased from the previous year to about 29.18 trillion U.S. dollars. Gross domestic product (GDP) refers to the market value of all goods and services produced within a country. In 2024, the United States has the largest economy in the world. What is GDP? Gross domestic product is one of the most important indicators used to analyze the health of an economy. GDP is defined by the BEA as the market value of goods and services produced by labor and property in the United States, regardless of nationality. It is the primary measure of U.S. production. The OECD defines GDP as an aggregate measure of production equal to the sum of the gross values added of all resident, institutional units engaged in production (plus any taxes, and minus any subsidies, on products not included in the value of their outputs). GDP and national debt Although the United States had the highest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the world in 2022, this does not tell us much about the quality of life in any given country. GDP per capita at purchasing power parity (PPP) is an economic measurement that is thought to be a better method for comparing living standards across countries because it accounts for domestic inflation and variations in the cost of living. While the United States might have the largest economy, the country that ranked highest in terms of GDP at PPP was Luxembourg, amounting to around 141,333 international dollars per capita. Singapore, Ireland, and Qatar also ranked highly on the GDP PPP list, and the United States ranked 9th in 2022.

By comparison, despite being the world’s largest oil producer, the oil and gas industry in the United States accounted for only ***** percent of total GDP. The role of oil and gas in Saudi Arabia The oil and gas industry is the single most significant contributor to the economy of Saudi Arabia. The country is home to the largest conventional oil field in the world, the Ghawar Field, and oil production reaches around ************ barrels per day. Oil and gas exports are the country’s main means of income. Due to a lower domestic demand than its closest producing competitors, the U.S. and Russia, Saudi Arabia has remained the country with the highest value of oil exports. In 2023, oil exports brought in over *********** U.S. dollars. GDP growth amid a stagnating oil market Oil prices and as such oil demand are the greatest determinant for the industry’s financial contributions. In 2024, a sluggish world oil market dampened prices for most of the second half of the year. This will likely be reflected in the fiscal year performance of major oil and gas entities such as Saudi Arabia’s Saudi Aramco and also impact GDP growth projections.

Three Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries ranked among the top twenty countries globally in terms of ease of settling in for expats. While Qatar ranked among the best countries for quality of life, it was ranked one of the hardest to settle into for expats, coming in at ** out of 53 countries worldwide. Likewise, Saudi Arabia was also near the bottom of the list, ranking just slightly above Qatar. Nonetheless, Saudi Arabia ranked among the highest in the world in working abroad experience for expats. The ranking was conducted among ** countries worldwide and is an aggregate of * factors. These factors include leisure options, travel and transit, healthcare, safety and security, and environment and climate. Leisure and tourism sector expansion in the GCC One of the key factors affecting expats’ ease of settling into a new country is the availability of leisure options. Bahrain, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates, which topped the list, have historically been attractive tourist destinations. This has prompted these countries to invest heavily in the tourism and leisure sector, something which is clearly reflected by the contribution of the tourism industry to GCC gross domestic product (GDP). Other countries in the region are also hoping to expand their tourism and leisure sector, such as Saudi Arabia, whose tourism industry is primarily centered around religious tourism. However, this focus could change as part of Vision 2030, which aims to diversify the country’s economy and wean off oil dependency by investing in diverse sectors, tourism, sports, and entertainment being key focus areas. Initiatives include investment in the Saudi Pro League, a football league with multiple clubs that have signed world-renowned players for historic contracts. Furthermore, there are initiatives focused on Riyadh festival, the Red Sea resort, and the NEOM megacity project.
Healthcare benefits for residents Healthcare is another key factor contributing to expats’ ease of settling in a foreign country. For many years, healthcare expenditure in the GCC has consistently grown. Residents can generally expect to receive high-quality healthcare. Health insurance is required for expats, but services may vary based on the type of coverage one has or whether one visits public or private health facilities. In addition to investing heavily in healthcare and health facilities, GCC countries have also been expanding into health education and research. Some institutions include Weill Cornell Medical College, which operates a campus in Qatar, the University of Calgary in Qatar (UCQ), and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland - Bahrain, among others.
