(ANSA) - BELGRADE - Romania may soon be included among the
'high income economies' in the world, as defined by the World
Bank definition, according to the specialized financial portal
Business Review.
Business Review recalled that in 2016 Romania had a gross
national income (GNI) per capita of USD 9,480, but thanks to the
economic growth of 6.9 per cent in 2017 and due to the
optimistic forecasts for 2018, "Romania will reach a level of
about EUR 10,250 or USD 12,300 per capita, just over the World
Bank's threshold for high income economies" already in 2018 or
by 2019.
Currently, Business Review said that, on the basis of the
latest World Bank report, 78 countries and territories are
currently considered as being 'high income economies', including
26 out of 28 European Union member states. Bulgaria and Romania
are still out of the group of the world economies with the
highest income per capita. (ANSA).
