QATAR has the highest gross national income per capita among all the Arab countries and ranks fifth in a list of 221 countries released yesterday by UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).
The first four places were taken by Liechtenstein ($82,826), Bermuda ($78538), Norway ($71822) and Luxembourg ($71,336).
According to the report, Qatar’s gross national income per capita for 2006 was $66,063.
The figures for some other prominent countries are: the US ($43,424), the United Arab Emirates ($41,082), Kuwait (40,114), Bahrain ($20,609), Saudi Arabia ($15,131) and Oman ($11,275).
The ratio of income per capita of the richest to the poorest country rose to 753 in 2006 from 115 in 1973, showing a growth in income inequality among countries, Bloomberg quoted the UN agency’s report as saying.
Under-nourishment rates also released along with the report put Eritrea, where 75 of every 100 people are undernourished, at the bottom of the table.

Qatar is so pretty and every citizen drives BMWs. No taxes and each citizen shares in the oil profits. Peaches showed me pictures of Qatar when she visited their as the US has a base there.
Now they do love American money. Peaches said they had to buy food and it isn't cheap. But she said the people are really nice. To bad the US bombed them.
The US is not doing so good here, compared to others. We have the Gerbil Administration to thank for it.
