The rankings above for ASEAN countries make no sense, noting the US$ per capita quoted.

[mikebell]

Thailand's standing is distorted by having lots of its wealth in the hands of a dozen wealthy families + lots of Generals; whilst a huge proportion of the populace have next to nothing.

[worgeordie]

If Thailand's off the books money was taken into account ,(Corruption )they

would be a lot higher up the table .

Can some one explain please...Thailand is ranked 72nd with 20.170 $, Malaysia 35th 32.440$ and 51 Indonesia with 17.130$... THailand should come first I think but how do they come at 72nd?? something is not correct

This ranking doesn't picture the reality.

There is one family who owns all Central Malls, could afford to buy KDW including plot in Berlin and owns Harrod's and Macy's....Another owns Red Bull.

And the rest is struggling, more or less🥴

I can count five, or half of Top-10: Luxembourg, Ireland, Switzerland, Norway and San Marino....

The numbers for east Asia don't make sense. Also, what has projected Ireland into being the third richest country in the world ?

Ireland has been moving ahead economically at a great rate for about the last 20 years. Attracting large-scale investments in high tech.

 

Shows what a country can do to turn around its C20th fate with good government and clear-sighted economic policies.

 

If the Irish can do it ...

I looked for a link, there isnt one.
