World Bank list of economies (July 2015)

This table classifies all World Bank member countries (188), and all other economies with populations of more than 30,000. For operational and analytical purposes, economies are
divided among income groups according to 2014 gross national income (GNI) per capita, calculated using the World Bank Atlas method. The groups are: low income, $1,045 or less;
lower middle income, $1,046–4,125; upper middle income, $4,126–12,735; and high income, $12,736 or more.

Geographic classifications in this table cover all income levels.

IDA countries are those that had a per capita income in 2014 of less than $1,215 and lack the financial ability to borrow from IBRD. IDA credits are deeply concessional—interest-free
loans and grants for programs aimed at boosting economic growth and improving living conditions. IBRD loans are noncessional. Blend countries are eligible for IDA credits because
of their low per capita incomes but are also eligible for IBRD loans because they are financially creditworthy.

Note: The term country, used interchangeably with economy, does not imply political independence but refers to any territory for which authorities report separate social or
economic statistics. Income classifications set on 1 July 2015 remain in effect until 1 July 2016. Lithuania joined the euro area on 1 January 2015.
